Former 49ers Player Dana Stubblefield Charged With Raping Disabled Woman

Former San Francisco 49er Dana Stubblefield was charged Monday with the rape of a disabled woman after an investigation that lasted over a year, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

Stubblefield, 45, faces five felony counts related to the alleged assault, according to the DA’s office. The April 2015 incident occurred at Stubblefield’s home in Morgan Hill, where the woman, who is developmentally disabled, had been asked to interview for a babysitter job, prosecutors said.

The woman, who was 31 at the time, immediately went to the Morgan Hill Police Department to report she was raped, according to prosecutors.

“This was a crime of violence against a vulnerable victim,” Deputy District Attorney Tim McInerny said. “She was looking for a job and she was unconscionably assaulted.”

Only an idiot would think he could get something of value from a player who cycled through the Raiders' fabled 'retread' program where every ounce of remaining talent is sucked out, then tossed on the dung heap.

don't have any skill left in them when they leave. Is that your point? It's easy to miss "the point" when it has nothing to do with the words in a post.

Tru's point was that whenever something bad happens, he attempts to tie it to the Patriots in any way possible. Like blaming a HC for bringing in such a person to camp for a few weeks.

character. Not a great example on your part for this one though, as this guy committed his offenses a decade AFTER he was in training camp, a camp which he didn't even make it to the end of. It's not like they went out and found him after his character was well known and signed him and played him anyway.

Like, for example, if they had signed someone like Ndamakong Suh or Brandon Marshall knowing full well the type of person they were getting, and then paid them big money and kept them on the roster. If Belichick had done something like that, you'd have a much better argument.

TMZ: Both Stubblefield and the accuser have acknowledged that Dana found the woman through the SitterCity.com babysitter website, and liked her profile so much, he called her to his home for an interview.

But the profile, handed out by Stubblefield's legal team, is odd -- starting with the fact the woman claims she's 32 years old ... with 29 years of paid experience as a babysitter.

Plus, here's what she wrote under the "Bio" section -- "I like walking with a dog and kids. I like zumba. I need a job, I need payment doctor, dentist, sick, gas, phone, tax, light. I'm learning a zumba I want be zumba job. I like mall and nice restaurant."

...(F)rom the woman's Facebook profile:
Work and Education -- "I fuller feeling lose weight."
Places Lived -- "Be sexy dress nice dress-up."
Contact and Basic Info -- "DJ, sexy, drunk, zumba, dance and exercise, sometime had fun time."
Family and Relationships -- "no money gas."

(link to documents)

Toss in her stated pay range -- 10 to 90 dollars an hour -- and SitterCity comes across as a front for a call girl operation! I mean, he decided this applicant was worthy of consideration to be hired to watch over his children? Stubblefied's legal team may have outsmarted themselves on this play.

TMZ: According to official documents, Stubblefield has been charged with rape by force, rape of a victim incapable of giving consent, oral copulation by force, oral copulation with a person incapable of giving consent and false imprisonment.

Not surprisingly, Stubblefield says their relationship was consensual and she's just gold digging. Besides, how was he to know that she was incapable of giving consent? I doubt that she put it on her resume or had it tattooed across her forehead!
