Stubblefield spoke at a News Conference this morning flanked by his lawyers. David louie joins us live with a look at the case over all. David . Reporter today was the stubblefields opportunity to lash out at the district attorney. His attorneys upset he was not given an opportunity to surrender and was arrested in front of his childrens school. The woman stubblefield says he did have sex with but about not rape is under attack. I am not a perfect man. However, allegations against me coming a year after consensual encounter with another woman are all totally false. Reporter that statement likely points to a not guilty plea. He faces five felony counts including rape, and rape of a person incapable of giving consent. Arraignment is a month away. The former 49er defensive lineman is accused of forcing himself on a 31yearold woman described as developmentally disabled. Her name not being released. One of my primary charities is special olympics. Something that is true and dear to my heart. This is why these allegations hurt me badly. The accuser had gone to his home over a year ago to interview for a babysitter job. His attorneys arent convinced the woman is developmentally disabled. She ran a business. She had a drivers license, able to communicate on the web and asked dana for money more than 20 something times. The womans ability to consent to sex or not will be a major aspect in this case.
