The 31-year-old was NOT present in the Santa Clara courtroom when his lawyer entered his plea … roughly one month after he was charged with the crime.
As we previously reported, the alleged victim claims the incident went down on December 14, 2014 … after she met 49ers player Ray McDonald at a bar and went back to his home.
While at McDonald’s place, the woman claims she fell and hit her head near the swimming pool … and Brooks groped her in a sexual manner while she was unconscious.
She also claims McDonald raped her later that night … and alleges surveillance footage from the home will help prove she’s telling the truth.
If convicted, Brooks faces up to 6 months behind bars.
Brooks has played in all 3 games for the 49ers this season — with a total of 7 tackles and no sacks.
