Former Giants defensive end Robert Ayers used a not-guilty verdict to blast the rape accuser.

The free agent, who spent the last two seasons with Tampa Bay, criticized the plaintiff in a rape trial who brought charges against former University of Tennessee players AJ Johnson and Michael Williams.

Ayers played for the Vols before the two defendants did, and (wrongly) took their acquittals Friday as evidence their accuser lied.

“Now she needs to be charged…” Ayers said on Twitter. “Has to be some type of punishment for that nonsense or it’ll keep happening… Falsely accused that man of rape to ruin his life cause of hurt feelings.. Lock her ass up… Plus it’s disrespectful to the real rape victims out there..”

After the 2014 allegations, Johnson and Williams were suspended from the team and never played again.

“We prayed, trusted in God,” Johnson told reporters after the acquittal. “I just knew God was going to take care of it.”

Ayers was not thankful but vengeful. A Twitter user tried to tell Ayers that being found not guilty does not mean the plaintiff lied, but the pass-rusher disagreed with him and eventually told him to “STFU.”

He continued: “Yep, she a real criminal but nothin will ever happen to her.. i dont even think they ever released her name.. Smh”

Ayers posted 14 sacks for the Giants across 2014-15. He was released by the Buccaneers in March.
