Former San Francisco 49er Accused Of Rape Challenges Victim’s Credibility
February 5, 2018 at 10:33 pm
MORGAN HILL (KPIX 5) — Former 49er linebacker Dana Stubblefield has been sitting in jail for two weeks on rape charges and now his attorneys claim they have new evidence in the case that puts the credibility of the victim in question.
Dana Stubblefield’s attorney Allen Sawyer says this new evidence supports his client’s claim that he paid the victim for sex.
“It’s a video on one site where she’s offering to engage in sex acts for money,” Sawyer said.
The prosecutor in this case Tim McInery with the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office didn’t want to speak on camera but said, “This is victim shaming and Stubblefield’s attorneys are violating the rules of professional conduct.”
Stubblefield faces five felony charges with a gun enhancement for allegedly raping an intellectually disabled 34-year-old woman at gunpoint at his Morgan Hill home in 2015.
If convicted, Stubblefield is looking at spending 15 years to life in prison.
