The INLAND VALLEY DALLEY BULLETIN reports this afternoon that former NFL kicker Tony Zendejas will stand trial on four felony rape and sodomy charges after his alleged victim took the stand and provided gruesome details of a January encounter.
The woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” alleges that Zendejas spiked her drinks on Jan. 26 while she visited his restaurant in Pomona, CA. After she passed out, Zendejas allegedly took her to a hotel room and raped and sodomized her.
The alleged victim, suspecting she was raped, then visited a hospital the next day.
Excerpt:
The next morning, she said, she woke up naked and alone in the bed. Her car keys were on an end table and her clothing was scattered around the room.She said she felt pain in her vaginal and anal areas and immediately suspected she had been raped by Zendejas.
The only other witness called to the stand by prosecutors was the medical examiner who on the afternoon of Jan. 26 examined the woman.
The examiner, Malinda Wheeler, said the woman had a large tissue tear in her anus - she said it was the largest she had seen in her career - and more minor tissue damage in her vaginal area.
Brutal stuff.
It somehow gets worse though for Zendejas. Jane Doe then returned to his restaurant on April 17 and recorded a conversation with him. After asking Zendejas what happened on the night of Jan. 26, he apparently said, “I knocked you out. I took that booty.”
For what it’s worth, blood tests on the woman the morning after Jan. 26 were negative for date rape drugs. And Zendejas is claiming the two had consenual sex.
Who do you believe?

Favre & the Lions, Tom Brady's knee, Zendejas raping - I don't know who to believe anymore.

So, you have a former Yankees announcer caught collecting kiddie pron, and now a former NFL punter anally raping women. This is turning out to be one pleasant news day.

I believe the woman.
But I don't believe this woman:

Zendejas is such an ass.

It doesn't have to be from date rape drugs. She might have passed out from too much alcohol.

I don't know what the woman would gain by making up a story about Zendejas. It's not like she was sexually assaulted by Tom Brady or Brett Favre.

And all Joe Namath would have wanted to do was kiss her.

It's kind of hard to claim any innocence when you proudly declare how you "took that booty".

What a scumbag.

I went to school with his sister. She’s nice; I really have a hard time believing Tony would do something like this.

Lots of convicted rapists have nice sisters. I'm sure he'll know EXACTLY how she feels after he's convicted.
