A civil complaint filed in San Diego Superior Court on Thursday names three current and former San Diego State football players accused of gang raping a teenager at an off-campus party last October.
The father of the accuser is now demanding accountability and justice for his daughter. NBC 7's Artie Ojeda has the story.
"To cement the criminal case against Araiza, the detectives asked [Jane] Doe to ask again, 'And did we have actual sex?'" the complaint reads."The detectives knew that asking such a direct question like this might raise red flags for Araiza, which they tried to manage by telling Doe to ask the question 'When you can bring it up again.' As expected, however, when Doe asked the awkward question, Araiza immediately changed his tone, saying, 'This is Matt Araiza.
The San Diego Police Department closed its criminal investigation of the alleged incident in early August without detailing what, if anything, was discovered. No arrests have been made and the San Diego County District Attorney's Office has not filed any charges against the players. “SDPD requested on Oct. 19, 2021, and in subsequent letters that SDSU — including UPD and the Title IX office — not take any action that could compromise SDPD’s criminal investigation, including launching a university-led investigation,” a university spokesperson told NBC 7 in an email.“From the moment we learned of the alleged assault, our only interest has been in justice and legal accountability for anyone who violated the law,” wrote de la Torre.
