The former girlfriend of 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster on Monday said she can prove Foster did not cause her injuries from an alleged February incident in Los Gatos.

Elissa Ennis, the former girlfriend, released a statement through her attorney, Stephanie Rickard, in which she said she can prove Foster was not responsible for her injuries.

“(Foster) did not strike her, injure her or threaten her,” Rickard said in the statement.

Ennis’ injuries were the result of a physical fight with another woman, and that Foster tried to end his relationship with Ennis after he learned of the fight, Rickard said.

There is a video of that fight with another woman, according to Rickard.

“She was extremely upset and told him if he broke up with her she would ‘trash his career,’ ” Rickard said.

Rickard said after Ennis realized what she had done, she went back to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office and tried to recant her previous statement.

On April 12, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office filed formal criminal charges against Foster stemming from a Feb. 11 incident involving his live-in girlfriend in Los Gatos. He faces two charges of domestic violence and one felony charge of possession of an assault weapon.

The DA’s office charged him with domestic violence with an allegation that he inflicted great bodily harm. The DA’s office said Foster bruised the alleged victim and ruptured her eardrum. She told investigators at the scene that Foster hit her eight to 10 times in the head.

He is also charged with a felony of attempting to prevent a victim from reporting a crime.

The criminal charges against Foster are based on lies, Ennis now says, according to Rickard.

According to Rickard, “Ennis apologizes to everyone that may have been harmed in this case, especially Mr. Foster."

Women who make these false accusations are as bad as the men who commit domestic abuse, and they should be treated in the same manner.

She'll never play for San Francisco again!   :lol2: :lol2:

It appeared the DA had political aspirations the way he/she was going after Foster.  As severe and many charges as warranted and another or two contrived just for good measure.  I'd imagine there will be charges against the woman for filing a false report just to save face.  It will be interesting if the DA presses her with jail time, just how long her current story will stay her story.

If she told the DA that she lied before he filed charges, then doesn't Ruben have cause for action against the DA?

Probably not.  But it makes the D A a D I C K.

:lol:

I don't think it came out until after the charges were filed.

If this woman indeed made up the story, she needs to be prosecuted. Men should be held accountable when they abuse women. Women should also be held accountable when they make false accusations.

Agreed.  Not only for the sake of the innocent man, but just as importantly for future legitimate claims in unrelated cases by other women who are abused.  False claims like this make it much easier for people like Famous Jameis the rapist to get away with it by discrediting the victim.
