The girl never accused Araiza of rape (meaning forced sex) either outside or inside the house. They both admitted the incident outside the house was consensual and her friends said she was boasting about it when she joined them afterwards. True she was 17, but she was portraying herself as legal/in college and in California that's a valid defense, and if you saw and heard her in that video from the night before, you wouldn't be able to tell that she was 17 and not 18.
As for his involvement with what happened inside the house, she claimed he led her inside to his teammates but never said he participated. But there's no evidence even of that and evidence otherwise, even if it is from a friend, while she has no one to corroborate her claims. I'm sure they have his cell phone data to show he wasn't there and I'd like to see that but it won't change much because beyond the lack of evidence it sounds unbelievable on the face of it.
I won't defend what happened inside the house/his teammates and I have no idea if at some point a rape occurred. About the best defense I can give her is that she took or was unknowingly given a roofie. It would explain a lot. But the videos are damaging to her case.
And the civil trial is still pending. No team will sign him until it's over because it's a distraction.
