Former Buffalo Bills punter and standout SDSU football player Matt Araiza and two teammates had been accused of rape in a civil lawsuit
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.
Until now, police and prosecutors have said very little about the investigation. Details of the allegations surfaced first through media reports then in a civil lawsuit the young woman filed last month publicly naming Araiza and former SDSU teammates Zavier Leonard and Nowlin “Pa’a” Ewaliko. The suit alleges that Araiza, then 21, had sex with the teen in a side yard of a College Area residence before bringing her into a bedroom where a group of men took turns raping her. Leonard and Ewaliko were part of that group, the suit said.
The District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday that the Police Department did not recommend charges be filed when the case was submitted.
