Stanford Prof. Arrested On Suspicion Of Domestic Violence: Report

STANFORD, CA — A Stanford biology professor was arrested and charged last month with misdemeanor domestic violence in connection with an incident that occurred over the summer, according to multiple published reports.

Hunter Fraser is accused of throwing his girlfriend to the ground and slamming a door on her during a game they were playing with Fraser’s daughter, KRON reports.

The case was first reported by The Stanford Daily.

Fraser pled not guilty to the charges, KRON reports.

If convicted, he could face up to a year in county jail, according to the report.

“A police report was submitted detailing the incident,” the DA’s office said in a statement obtained by KRON.

“The DA’s Office reviewed the evidence and determined we could prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Officers at around 8 p.m. July 4 responded to Fraser’s home near Page Mill Road on the report of a domestic incident, The Stanford Daily reports.

The incident left a “large swath of redness with the imprint of a door handle” on the woman’s skin,” according to an incident report The Stanford Daily obtained.

X-rays taken were negative, but a CT scan revealed the woman had two broken ribs, according to the report.

A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Nov. 13 at 9 a.m., KRON reports.
