Judge reinstates bail in ex-49er Dana Stubblefield’s rape case

MORGAN HILL — A judge took the unusual step Friday of reinstating bail for former San Francisco 49ers star Dana Stubblefield after his attorneys argued that the woman who accused him of raping her at gunpoint lied under oath when she denied ever working in the porn industry or receiving money for sex.

Judge Jacqueline Duong set $500,000 bail in Santa Clara County Superior Court after defense lawyers Ken Rosenfeld and Allen Sawyer discovered a 15-second video of the woman dancing in the nude, available to paying customers on a porn website. The 34-year-old woman, who the prosecution says is intellectually disabled, had testified during the preliminary hearing last month that Stubblefield forced her to have sex with him nearly three years ago when she went to his Morgan Hill home seeking babysitting work.
