Former Washington defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield was found guilty of raping a woman while using a gun, a Santa Jose court ruled on Monday.


The trial, which was held at the Hall of Justice in San Jose, concluded Monday. Stubblefield was found guilty of rape by force, menace or fear and guilty of using a firearm in commission of the crime.

As a result of the verdict, Stubblefield now faces 15 years to life in prison.

The incident occurred in April of 2016 when Stubblefield was supposedly interviewing a disabled woman to be the potential babysitter for his kids.

Stubblefield, 49, was a first-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in the 1993 NFL Draft. During his first five years with San Francisco, Stubblefield was named to the Pro Bowl three times, was a one-time first team All-Pro and also made the second team another year.

The defensive tackle signed a lucrative deal with Washington in free agency in 1998, but his numbers significantly declined once arriving in the nation's capital. Stubblefield played three seasons for Washington before returning to San Francisco in 2000.
