Former 49er Dana Stubblefield found guilty of rape, could face life in prison

A jury in Santa Clara County has found former San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield guilty of raping a woman at his Morgan Hill home in 2015, prosecutors said Monday.

Stubblefield, who played for the 49ers from 1993 to 1997, was accused of contacting a 31-year-old developmentally disabled woman on a babysitting website, inviting her to his home and raping her while using a gun during the assault. The three-time Pro Bowler was found guilty of rape by force, menace or fear and guilty of using a firearm in commission of the crime.

Conviction on the firearm charge means that Stubblefield now faces 15 years to life in prison.
