Buffalo Bills rookie punter Matt Araiza and two former San Diego State teammates have been accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old high school student last year, a civil suit filed Thursday in California alleges. Araiza, Zavier Leonard and Pa’a Ewaliko are accused of rape, false imprisonment and gender-violence crimes stemming from a Halloween party at Araiza’s residence on Oct. 17, 2021.<\/p>\n
According to the suit filed by attorney Dan Gilleon, the plaintiff, referred to as Jane Doe, was \u201cinebriated\u201d when she arrived and given more alcohol by Araiza, who was 21 at the time, before he ordered her to perform oral sex on him in a side yard The lawsuit alleges that Araiza had sex with her outside before taking her inside to a bedroom where Leonard and Ewaliko were waiting. They all took turns sexually assaulting her for about 90 minutes as she went in and out of consciousness, the argument alleges.<\/p>\n
\nSource tells me the Bills were made aware of the accusations against Araiza last month. They did not know when they drafted him, but did know when they cut Matt Haack on Monday.<\/p>\n
