But just as the season was about to start, he was named in a graphic lawsuit accusing him of orchestrating a gang rape at a college party. Araiza was immediately cut from the Bills and swiftly tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. In December, the San Diego District Attorney declined to file any charges in the case and now, as Araiza is still without a job, evidence has emerged that questions what happened.
