It was announced in December that former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza would not face criminal charges after being accused of being involved in an alleged gang rape during a party at San Diego State in 2021. Now, details have emerged that reveal what led to the decision.

According to Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports, a 200-plus page transcript of a 100-minute meeting between prosecutors and the alleged victim and her lawyer reveal that prosecutors determined that Araiza was not present when the alleged incident occurred.

"He wasn't even at the party anymore," deputy district attorney Trisha Amador explained to the girl.
