LYNCH ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

California running back Marshawn Lynch, who is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2007 draft, reportedly has been accused of sexual assault and domestic violence.

In a criminal complaint filed on December 19, 2006, a woman claims tha Lynch "choked, slapped and sexually assaulted her" on December 13 in Oakland.

Radio station KCBS first reported the complaint, and a full story appears in the Contra Costa Times.

Lynch admits that he was with the woman on the night in question, but denies any criminal wrongdoing. On Friday, a judge awarded the woman a restraining order against Lynch.

At this point, the impact on Lynch's draft stock is unknown. (As several readers have suggested, Lynch suddenly has become very attractive to the Bengals.) And it's way too early to tell whether Lynch will do time.

In 2006, Lynch rushed for 1,356 yards on 223 carries for a 6.1 average gain per carry. For his career, he averaged 6.6 yards per attempt.

Not what you want before the draft

I've met Lynch and I didn't peg him as a deviant, but you never know.

It may not be true, it is just not what you want even if it is false.

Marshawn Lynch will not be charged with assualting an ex-girlfriend.

When the story first broke, Lynch's agent stated that police found no evidence of violence, and that appears true, as the prosecutor never filed charges and the case is now closed. There's still a chance for a civil trial, but it appears Lynch is in the clear regarding any jail time. Jan. 30 - 9:07 am et

So I'm sitting in a quiet library here on campus when I read this. I literally laughed out loud... everybody's staring at me like what the hell is this guy doing. Nice story deeray, that line def. cracked me up... It's also good to see that Lynch was cleared but I still think this will hurt his draft stock.

I wonder how many of these complaints are really legitimate nowadays. It seems to me like a lot of these people are just trying to get a piece of the pie... but I guess there's really no way to know...

Girl was an ex-girlfriend, so who knows what really happened. I do remember something similar hurting Winston Justice last year although his was before his senior season if i remember correctly

I dont see it hurting him too much. Looks like this was just a case of a bitter ex wanting a piece of the pie.
