A former NFL player for the San Francisco 49ers was convicted of rape and other charges in a California courtroom Monday.
Dana Stubblefield, 49, was found guilty of luring a developmentally disabled woman to his Morgan Hill home in April 2015 with a promise of a babysitting job after contacting her through a babysitting website. He faces 15 years to life in prison.
"If we are not fighting for her, then who are we fighting for? It has been a long road for this remarkable woman and we are thankful to the jury for providing her some closure and, for our community, justice after an unconscionable and violent crime."Allen Sawyer, Stubblefield's attorney, said he"firmly believes" his client is innocent. They plan to appeal the ruling.
