SAN JOSE, CALIF. — Former San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison Thursday for raping a developmentally disabled woman whom prosecutors said he lured to his home with the promise of a babysitting job.
The sentence was issued by a judge in San Jose, Calif., after denying a defense motion for a new trial, the Mercury News reported. Last week, the Sixth District Court of Appeal denied a related petition filed by attorneys on behalf of Stubblefield.
A jury in July found Stubblefield, 49, guilty of raping the woman with the threat of a gun.
