Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team 'tried to be thorough and thoughtful and not rush to judgment' about Matt Araiza's case, but decided it's best to 'move on' in light of new information.
"We tried to be thorough and thoughtful and not rush to judgment, and I would say it's not easy. You're trying to put facts around a legal situation sometimes with limited information," Beane said. "There are many things that we could not get our hands on. This was about letting Matt go handle his situation. This is bigger than football."Araiza was selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft in late April after playing at San Diego State.
According to the lawsuit, the teen drank with friends before attending a Halloween party the night of Oct. 16-17 at an off-campus home where Araiza lived. She said Araiza, who was 21 years old at the time, gave her a drink she believes "not only contained alcohol, but other intoxicating substances" despite her saying she was in high school, the suit adds.
The lawsuit says Araiza took the intoxicated teen to the side of the house and told her to perform oral sex on him before he"pulled her up from the ground, turned her around facing away from the party, and" penetrated her from behind. Then Araiza allegedly took her to a bedroom where his teammates took turns raping her for an hour and a half. The teen said she went in and out of consciousness during the sexual assault, the complaint says.
