Former Georgia LB Adam Anderson sentenced to a year in jail

Former Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Adam Anderson was sentenced Monday in Clarke County (Ga.) Superior Court to a year in jail, according to multiple reports, after pleading guilty to the sexual battery of two young women.

In April of 2022, a grand jury indicted Anderson and charged with him raping a 21-year-old woman in a house in Athens, Georgia, on Oct. 29, 2021. A second woman later accused Anderson of sexually assaulting her in neighboring Oconee County, Georgia.

Anderson, a Rome, Georgia native who was once considered a potential NFL first-round choice, was arrested on Nov. 10, 2021, and released on $25,000 bond a week later.
