Athens-Clarke County police are investigating an allegation of rape against Georgia outside linebacker Adam Anderson, according to a police incident report obtained Thursday by the Athens Banner-Herald.
No arrest has been made, according to ACC police Lt. Shaun Barnett, who said he did not know if charges will be filed.
“It’s still open and still under investigation,” he said. “It’s depending on how the investigation plays out that will determine that.”
A 21-year-old female told police she went to an Athens residence between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. on Friday Oct. 29 after having drinks and awoke with Anderson penetrating her while she was lying in bed.
She told police that it was nonconsensual and she was able to leave, according to the report.
