Police charged Georgia linebacker Adam Anderson with felony rape on Wednesday after a 21-year-old woman accused him of raping her in a house in Athens, Georgia, on Oct. 29.
Anderson voluntarily turned himself into police on Wednesday and was being held without bond at the Athens-Clarke County Jail.
Anderson has denied the allegation through his attorney, Steve Sadow.
"Adam is innocent of the charge brought against him and intends to vigorously defend himself in court," Sadow said in a statement. "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.
