Jurisprudence

Bobby Duckworth, a former wide receiver with the San Diego Chargers and Rams, is being sought by police in connection with an alleged rape and beating that reportedly occurred last week in his Carlsbad home.

Duckworth, 32, is suspected of beating and raping a 28-year-old Carlsbad woman whom he had reportedly picked up in a restaurant and taken home, police said.

A $100,000 warrant was issued for his arrest Friday morning, and police have been looking for Duckworth since, Carlsbad Police Detective Don DeTar said.

According to DeTar, attorneys who said they represent Duckworth called investigators Monday to say that Duckworth would turn himself in soon. Duckworth had told police Friday that he would come to the station that afternoon, but he never appeared, DeTar said.
