Former San Francisco 49ers star Dana Stubblefield was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison on Thursday after being found guilty of raping a woman he had interviewed for a babysitting job, according to The Mercury News’ Robert Salonga.
The sentence was reportedly issued after Judge Arthur Bocanegra denied a defense motion for a new trial. The Sixth District Court of Appeal has also reportedly denied a petition from Stubblefield’s legal team.
In July, a jury found Stubblefield guilty of rape by force, oral copulation by force, false imprisonment and also determined he used a gun in the act.
