Lawyer for ex-Auburn TE refutes rape allegation
AUBURN, Ala. -- The defense team for former Auburn tight end Landon Rice has issued a statement regarding the rape allegation against him.
Augusta Dowd said Tuesday, "The legal team will deal with the false accusations and be ready, willing, and able to demonstrate, in the appropriate venue, that Landon has been unfairly treated."
A 19-year-old woman filed an incident report with Auburn police on July 27 accusing Rice of first-degree rape. The report, obtained Monday by The Associated Press, said the alleged rape occurred between 11 p.m. April 12 and 6 a.m. April 13.
