Northwestern QB Commit Aidan Atkinson Arrested on Sexual Assault Charges

Northwestern commit Aidan Atkinson has been arrested in Colorado for sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact.

Boulder police released a statement on Friday saying a male suspect was arrested on allegations of sexually assaulting five females on a party bus in September 2018. Because the suspect and victims were juveniles on the date of the incident, the police did not release their names.

The Boulder Daily Camera reported Atkinson, a quarterback at Fairview High School in Boulder and a 2020 Northwestern commit, as the unidentified male suspect. Boulder County Jail records indicate Atkinson, 18, was booked on Friday.
