Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza has been accused in a civil lawsuit of participating in the gang-rape of a teenager last year at an off-campus party along with two other football players during his time playing for San Diego State University.
Kerry Armstrong, an attorney for Araiza said he had been"on the case about six weeks" and said he"looks forward to court."
Attorney Marc Xavier Carlos, who is representing Ewaliko, according to The Los Angeles Times, told the newspaper 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, who reportedly represents Leonard, told the newspaper he had not seen the lawsuit and could not comment.
The San Diego State University said in a statement that the university"takes allegations of sexual assault seriously." "As members of the media have now reported on the SDPD investigation, the university is providing information about its actions, its resources and its commitment to supporting a thorough and complete police investigation, which every victim deserves," the school said.
“Due to the serious nature of the complaint, we conducted a thorough examination of this matter. As this is an ongoing civil case, we will have no other comment at this point," the team said.
