Anna Stubblefield

Marjorie Anna Stubblefield (; born December 3, 1969) is an American former professor of philosophy at Rutgers University–Newark, practitioner of facilitated communication, and convicted sexual assaulter.

Stubblefield was found guilty of two counts of raping a man with severe mental disabilities whom she falsely claimed to have enabled to communicate via typing using the discredited practice of facilitated communication. She was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The convictions were later overturned on a technicality, and she agreed to a plea deal on a lesser charge and was released from prison. In October 2016, the family was awarded $4 million in a civil lawsuit against Stubblefield.

Her use of facilitated communication with the victim resulted in an academic article that was published in ''Disability Studies Quarterly''. The article has since been retracted.
