Ohio State's Amir Riep, Jahsen Wint Charged with Rape, Kidnapping

Ohio State senior cornerback Amir Riep and redshirt senior linebacker/safety Jahsen Wint were charged with rape and kidnapping by the Franklin County Municipal Court on Tuesday.

Warrants have been issued for both of their arrests. The charges are first-degree felonies.

At approximately 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 4, the two Ohio State players “forced vaginal intercourse with another ... by purposely compelling said victim to submit by force,” according to a complaint filed on Tuesday by the alleged victim against Riep and Wint.

Riep, according to the complaint, “held the victim in place, restraining the liberty of another,” and pushed the victim “down by the neck then held her in place with his hands and body, with the purpose to engage in sexual activity with and against the will of said victim.
