Ex-Bills punter Araiza won’t be charged in alleged gang rape

Published December 7, 2022 4:28 PM

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Prosecutors say former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza will not be charged in connection with an alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at an off-campus party last year when he played football for San Diego State University. The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday that no charges will be filed against any of Araiza’s former Aztec teammates who were also accused in the reported assault. The DA’s office says the evidence doesn’t support filing charges. Araiza’s lawyer and the accuser’s attorney didn’t immediately comment. The Bills released the rookie punter in August after the accuser filed a lawsuit.
