Cal Football Star Accused of Assault on Ex Girlfriend

OAKLAND -- A former girlfriend is accusing former Cal star running back Marshawn Lynch of domestic violence and sexual assault.

KCBS has learned the Alameda County District Attorney is reviewing the woman's claims following an Oakland police investigation.

Lynch's attorney Gerry Schwartzbach denies the allegations.

KCBS has confirmed the woman was granted a restraining order against Lynch Friday morning. Schwartzbach says Lynch was unaware of the court hearing and did not attend.

In her complaint, the woman alleges Lynch choked, slapped and sexually assaulted her in Oakland the night of December 13th. She filed the civil complaint on December 19th, according to court documents obtained by KCBS.

Shwartzbach says Lynch was at the woman's home with a friend that night, but denies that any violence or sexual assault took place. He says Lynch was questioned by police and is co-operating with investigators.

Oakland police declined to comment, as did the deputy district attorney handling the case.

Lynch, the Pac-10 offensive player of the year and a first team All-American as a junior last season, left school early to enter the NFL draft. He is considered a likely first round draft choice. His last game for Cal was the Holiday Bowl victory over Texas A&M on December 28th. He attended Oakland Tech high school.

I'm changing my mock draft because of this. He gets picked by the Bengals in the first round.

How funny is that?

As Bungles GM I love draftees with a rap sheet.

Rohirrim · 01-27-2007, 11:22 AM

It will be interesting to see if he starts dropping. Pick #70 anyone?

Paladin · 01-27-2007, 12:49 PM

Is there something in the water in Oakland? Freaks, creeps and jerks abound out there, man.

cabronco · 01-27-2007, 12:55 PM

He's stated how he loves the silver & black. Sounds like a match.

Bronco LB 59 · 01-27-2007, 01:03 PM

Marshawn has always been a shady character. He has thrown up gang signs in the past after scoring touchdowns at Cal.

Billy Clyde Puckett · 01-27-2007, 01:40 PM

Can't rush to judgement. Issue needs to be investigated. If he is guilty he should pay the full price. If it is psycho chick revenge, she should pay the price.

-Slap- · 01-27-2007, 02:05 PM

Oakland is just an open sewer.

If he has a good combine, this won't stop an NFL team from drafting him right away.

Thank you, everybody else rushes to assume its true(I didn't know that Mike Nifong was on these boards), it's pretty odd timing of the ex girlfriend to do this as Marshawn is about to get millions of dollars...

So you are already judging him because of a girl accusing him before investigation? Ever heard of girls making up bull**** because she knows he is going to cash in in a couple months.

I'm not judging the girl either. Need to let the facts come out before rushing to judgement on either side.

True, I guess I rushed to judgement about her. We should all reserve judgement until there are atleast more facts out

watermock · 01-28-2007, 12:16 AM

Nothing like rushing to the DA 6 days later.

Barry Ramey · 01-28-2007, 10:41 AM

If he did it, I don't want the Broncos taking him with any pick.

Rape victims often need time to come to the decision to report the act. My wife has worked with victims and it is common.

As usual: Drunk = Douche = mock.

bpc · 01-28-2007, 03:32 PM

Stay away from this guy. His character and maturity were in question way before his sexual acts were. This is just one guy I can do without.

socalorado · 01-29-2007, 11:26 AM

Do any of you have any video of Lynch throwing up gang signs? i would really like to see that- it would put to rest alot of opinions about the guy regardless of his legal issues. Plus i have another thread on another site and ive commented about it so i would like to have it for that as well.

(8:00 PM): No charges against Cal RB… Charges won't be filed against star California junior RB Marshawn Lynch after an Oakland woman claimed that that he choked, slapped and sexually assaulted her. An Alameda County Superior Court judge had granted the woman a restraining order Friday to the woman, who described herself in court documents as Lynch's ex-girlfriend. However, prosecutors said a lack of evidence, including no visible injuries, a witness' statement contradicting the accuser and inconsistencies in the woman's own story meant the case couldn't go forward. Lynch is expected to be a first-round pick at the 2007 draft where he will likely be one of the top 2 RBs off the board.
