From Staff and Wire Reports
Bobby Duckworth, a former wide receiver with the Rams and San Diego Chargers, was ordered to stand trial in Vista Municipal Court on charges of raping and assaulting a woman he met in a Carlsbad bar.
Similar charges against Duckworth involving a second woman were dismissed by Judge Michael B. Harris because of insufficient evidence.
Duckworth, 32, who played parts of six seasons in the NFL, has pleaded not guilty. He remains jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail. He was the Chargers’ most valuable player in 1984.
