As part of a rape investigation, San Jose police have served a search warrant at the home of 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald, according to ABC 7.
Per the report, an adult female received treatment at a local hospital for a possible sexual assault that occurred on Tuesday. The hospital contacted San Jose police.
The victim reportedly alleged that she was “possibly sexually assaulted.” Based on the preliminary investigation, the alleged suspect is McDonald.
McDonald was investigated in August and September for domestic violence. He was never charged with any crime.
Just as McDonald provided the first potential case under the then-new domestic violence and sexual assault policy, McDonald now becomes the first potential case under the new personal conduct policy. If charged or if the league determines via an investigation that McDonald may have committed a violent crime, he’ll be suspended with pay.
With only two games left in the 2014 regular season, the team and the league soon will have the entire offseason to determine whether and to what extent McDonald should be placed on paid leave or otherwise disciplined.
