D.A.: No Charges In De Anza Baseball Rape Case

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) ― It looks like that the rape case against several De Anza College baseball team members is dead in the water.

Santa Clara County prosecutors say they will not file charges in the case of the alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl by the players at a house party in March.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office says there is insufficient evidence to support the filing of charges.

Authorities began investigating athletes and other students at the Cupertino community college -- located about 40 miles south of San Francisco -- after a birthday party for one of the players where the alleged attack occurred.

The party was held at the San Jose-area home of a De Anza infielder.

Eight of the ball players were suspended from the team after the alleged rape was reported.
