Former Buffalo Bills punter and standout SDSU football player Matt Araiza and two teammates had been accused of rape in a civil lawsuit
SAN DIEGO — Former Buffalo Bills punter and standout San Diego State University football player Matt Araiza will not be charged in connection with the reported gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at an off-campus party last year, officials announced Wednesday.
The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office also said none of his former Aztec teammates will be charged in the case, which rocked the university over the summer when news broke of allegations involving players on the team.
The decision not to file criminal charges, more than a year in the making, marks a pivotal moment in one of the most watched criminal cases in the county.
After reviewing evidence that included video footage “of the incident itself,” prosecutors determined “there is no path to a potential criminal conviction,” District Attorney Summer Stephan’s office said in a statement.
“Prosecutors can only file charges when they ethically believe they can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” the statement read.
Attorney Dan Gilleon, who represents the young woman, said he is “never surprised when a prosecutor does not file sexual assault charges when the victim was intoxicated.”

I read a while back that upwards of 60% of rape reports are found to be false.
Women have, and will lie, about being raped usually because they have been laying around and do not want their father, husband or boyfriend to know about it, so they accuse some poor guy they barely know or don’t know, of rape.
Yes. I’m a woman, but a wife to a husband, a sister to 3 brothers and a mother to 3 sons. Men need to stop watching sports and porn and video games all day with backwards baseball caps and start voting to the same extent that women do. Men need to start voting their interests. And go to college—major in STEM and keep their heads down and ignore any attempts at indoctrination (that’s what my 3 young adult sons did).
