Damian Trujillo of NBC Bay Area is reporting that San Francisco 49ers LB Ahmad Brooks' lawyer is pleading "not guilty" on behalf of his client on the charges of misdemeanor sex battery. Brooks was not in court.
In August, a Santa Clara County Grand Jury charged Brooks with one count of misdemeanor sexual battery. They have also charged former 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald on one count of raping an intoxicated woman following a party at his house in December.
Among the claims within the lawsuit was that Brooks had groped her in a "sexual manner" while she was unconscious.
Brooks faces up to six months in prison for the alleged incident that took place on the same night and involved the same woman as in the McDonald charge.
Earlier this month, the
49ers released a statement regarding their decision to keep Brooks on the team.

The San Francisco 49ers are cruising through the beginning of the regular season, winning each of their first three games, with a home bout against the 0-2 Arizona Cardinals next on the docket.
In his return from a torn UCL sustained in last year's NFC Championship Game, quarterback Brock Purdy has picked up right where he left off, continuing his streak of remaining unbeaten in games he's started and finished, which has increased to eight in a row.
The success from 2022 has cemented Purdy as the franchise quarterback, as the 49ers traded away former franchise option Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys, but some aren't as confident in the 2022 seventh-round pick.
Amongst them is Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who shared a unique reason for not
Potential trap game? Talanoa Hufanga, 49ers not looking past Cardinals, Joshua Dobbs
Everyone is excited about the Week 5 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, two Super Bowl hopefuls in the NFC. However, the Niners have a game scheduled before that clash of conference titans.
San Francisco will host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and there is no way head coach Kyle Shanahan or his players are looking past their next opponent. After all, the Cardinals are coming off a stunning 28-16 win over the Cowboys.
"If I told you we were looking ahead to Dallas, we'd be in a bad situation," safety Talanoa Hufanga said Tuesday morning on KNBR's "Murph and Mac" show. "I got great people around me, great coaches that are prepping us for Arizona. It's a great team.
"They've beat Dallas. I know they lost to the Giants
49ers' Kyle Juszczyk chasing Super Bowl glory, not personal achievements
Kyle Juszczyk is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and is widely considered the best fullback in the NFL. He has been with the San Francisco 49ers since 2017 and was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first free-agent class.
"At this point in my career, I've had a lot of individual successes," Juszczyk recently told Matt Maiocco during an interview for NBC Sports Bay Area's "49ers Talk" podcast. "I've had the Pro Bowls, the All-Pros, I've signed three contracts, widely known as one of the best fullbacks in the league. So I take a lot of pride in all that, and I love that. I truly do."
Juszczyk has yet to catch a pass this season but has 151 receptions for 1,576 yards and nine receiving touchdowns in his seven seasons with the 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers are cruising through the start of the season, looking to begin 4-0 with a victory over the Arizona Cardinals at home this weekend.
Coming into the season, the Cardinals were viewed as one of the worst teams odds-wise, but have been competitive through three matchups, leading at halftime in each game, while pulling off an incredible upset over the Dallas Cowboys last weekend.
The 49ers are facing those same Cowboys in Week 5 during a matchup that's considered to be between two of the top contenders in the NFC, but make no mistake, San Francisco isn't taking their division rivals
