Former San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald was indicted by a Santa Clara grand jury Wednesday on one count of rape, while current 49ers outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks was charged by the District Attorney’s office on one count of misdemeanor sexual battery. Both indictments are the result of the same incident, reportedly having taken place on December 15, 2014.
This incident was the final straw that caused 49ers GM Trent Baalke to release McDonald late last season. It also will be another strike against Brooks, who has not always seen eye-to-eye with the 49ers organization, and will likely lead to a suspension.
