Prosecutors on Monday dismissed rape charges against former San Francisco 49er Ray McDonald after the alleged victim refused to testify.

Judge David A. Cena dismissed the felony charges Monday morning in Santa Clara County Superior Court after the victim's refusal to offer testimony.

It is unclear at this point whether she received any kind of financial settlement from McDonald.

“Despite my best efforts to convince the victim to testify, she refused, Deputy District Attorney Chris Lamiero said. "That is her legal right. Regretfully, Ray McDonald will not face a jury for what he did that night.

"We are disappointed that he will not be held responsible."
