SAN DIEGO — Two more former San Diego State University football players have been added to the lawsuit brought by a woman who said she was gang raped at a house party near the campus nearly in fall 2021.
Jaiden Brown, 20, and Jonathan Harrison, 21, were recently added to the suit that names three others, including punter Matt Araiza, a collegiate standout whose nascent NFL career was halted after the suit was filed last summer. Araiza and co-defendants Zavier Leonard and Nowlin "Pa'a" Ewaliko have denied the allegations and said contact with the woman was consensual.
After a months-long police investigation, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office announced in December that it would not file criminal charges.
