Former Raiders and 49ers OT Kwame Harris is facing domestic violence charges for allegedly assaulting his ex-boyfriend.

Facing felony charges, the 2003 first-round pick is accused of "causing great bodily injury and assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury." Harris has pled not guilty, saying he was acting in self-defense. Out of the league since 2008, Harris retired from pro football after being cut by the UFL's Florida Tuskers in 2010.
