Ray McDonald accuser also accuses Ahmad Brooks of sexual assault
The woman who accused then-49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald of sexual assault last year has now accused another 49ers player, linebacker Ahmad Brooks.
Although Brooks — unlike McDonald — has not been named in a criminal complaint, the woman says in a civil lawsuit that Brooks sexually assaulted her.
According to CSNBayArea.com, the woman’s lawsuit says she slipped and fell on a pool deck, hit her head and was knocked unconscious, and that’s when Brooks fondled her.
“While she was unconscious from a subsequent fall, Brooks groped her person in a sexual manner,” the lawsuit says.
The 49ers released a statement confirming they are aware of the accusation against Brooks.
“The San Francisco 49ers organization is aware of the media report regarding Ahmad Brooks. We were disappointed to learn of this matter and will continue to monitor the situation,” the statement said.
The 49ers cut McDonald when he was accused last year. The 49ers’ statement said nothing about whether Brooks will be released as well.
