On Tuesday, a grand jury indicted a former University of Georgia linebacker for rape.
Adam Anderson was arrested in November, which led to the indictment. Anderson’s arraignment hearing for the case will take place in June.
Officers were told that the alleged rape occurred at Anderson’s residence on Oct. 29.
The police report states that a woman went to his residence to have a few drinks. She told officers that she had fallen asleep and woke up to him assaulting her.
She described the assault as non-consensual and filed a police report later that day.
The day after the rape allegations were made, Anderson played in Georgia’s 34-7 victory over Florida.
In November, Anderson surrendered to authorities.
“Adam voluntarily surrendered to the Athens-Clarke County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday evening, November 10. Adam is innocent of the charge brought against him and intends to defend himself in court vigorously. He will seek release on bond. Once again, Adam hopes and prays that the UGA community and the public keep an open mind and afford him the presumption of innocence that the law demands.”
As a result of the allegations, Anderson was suspended from the team. He was expected to be a first round pick during the NFL Draft.
