The school said former Aztec punter Matt Araiza was not a named respondent in its investigation, which focused on whether anyone had violated the university's student code of conduct

San Diego State University said Thursday there were “no findings” against NFL hopeful Matt Araiza in the school’s investigation into an allegation that Aztec football players raped a then-17-year-old girl at an off-campus house party.

SDSU said Araiza had given the university permission to comment on the investigation, and confirmed he was not a named respondent. During an audio recorded meeting hours before that announcement, the prosecutor who reviewed the case explained the decision to the woman, who had since turned 18. On Tuesday, Araiza told the Union-Tribune that he “was never in the bedroom,” nor had he been inside the house. He said he and the teenager had consensual sex in a side yard, and he believed she was 18 years old at the time.

Attorney Dan Gilleon, who represents the woman who reported she’d been raped, said earlier this week that the audio recording “does not vindicate in the slightest.”
