NFL ‘Punt God’ and two San Diego State football players accused in gang-rape lawsuit

[Woody]

WTF mate. 

 

 

 

A civil lawsuit filed Thursday in state court accuses three San Diego State University football players — including a top punter now in the NFL — of gang raping a 17-year-old girl last year at an off-campus party.

Matt Araiza, 22, whose powerful and precision kicking in college earned him the moniker “Punt God,” was accused of having sex with the minor outside the home and then bringing her inside to a room where she was repeatedly raped. The lawsuit, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, alleges the then-high school senior went in and out of consciousness but remembers moments as the men took turns assaulting her.

The other men named in the complaint are Zavier Leonard and Nowlin “Pa’a” Ewaliko. Leonard is listed on the university’s fall football roster as a redshirt freshman. Ewaliko was on the team last year as a freshman but is not on the current roster.

Araiza’s lawyer, Kerry Armstrong, said he hadn’t reviewed the complaint but called the rape accusation false. He said his investigator spoke to witnesses from the party who contradict the allegations against Araiza.

“It’s a shakedown because he’s now with the Buffalo Bills,” Armstrong said. “There is no doubt in my mind that Matt Araiza ever raped that girl.”

Attorney Marc Xavier Carlos, who is representing Ewaliko in an ongoing criminal investigation of the incident, said he could not comment on the lawsuit and that he was still investigating what transpired. He said his client is no longer at San Diego State. Attorney Jamahl Kersey, representing Leonard, said he had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment. He noted that a criminal investigation is ongoing and said no conclusions about his client should be drawn.

The lawsuit comes as San Diego State faces ongoing criticism after a Times investigation found that the university decided not to alert the campus community about the alleged gang rape and waited more than seven months to launch its own investigation.

Campus officials have said police asked them to not take any action that would compromise their investigation and that they were not required by federal law to send out a crime notification. After The Times report, San Diego State officials began posting some information about the October incident on a campus website.

 

No arrests have been made and San Diego police have not publicly identified any suspects. Detectives recently submitted their investigation to the San Diego County district attorney’s office to determine whether charges should be filed.

The university launched a Title IX investigation last month after the city police department notified the school that doing so would not jeopardize the criminal inquiry. Title IX is the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex at federally funded educational institutions. Araiza and Ewaliko would not have to comply with the campus investigation since they are no longer at the school.

Convicted with not even a trial!!!!!  LOL.  Idiots.

I  find it odd that this happens as soon as he makes the team.  

That being said, if he is guilty he should burn. If it's a shakedown, go after the plaintiff.

And this is what assclowns are failing to notice here. The Bills need distractions like I need an asshole for my elbow. Guilty or not he’s wrapped up in a shit situation. And now that reports say the Bills knew about this? FUCK.

You think the Bills are gonna let a punter stay on this team while he goes through preliminary hearings and trials and appeals? Are you serious? 😂 They’ll be hounded after every game all season about it. You think they want that? Dude is gone.

Did he just sign a contract or resign what's his name ,

The fact he isn't in jail now or wasnt ever arrested probably says they don't have any DNA evidence or witnesses.

He's done as a Bill. 

Fun to follow through training camp but he isn't worth the headache.

I question a "gang rape" that occurred in October 2021 and no one is arrested for half a year?  I also question why the case is made public after he is drafted and makes the team.  Sounds very similar to Patrick Kane's accuser.   None of this came out weeks following the accused action???  

I will wait to see what evidence is produced before I render anyone guilty of misconduct

Evidence? Why would anyone want to see that? Don’t you know, in today’s world, a guys life is over the second a woman cries rape?

Oh according to fucking morons on here he apparently is. For some bizarre reason they are living vicariously through Arazia or self identify with him. I hope they know that Arazia doesn’t need their fucking sympathy.
