Top NFL prospect, Former Ohio State CB Gareon Conley accused of rape
Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley, considered a top defensive prospect in this week's NFL draft, is being investigated by police after he was accused of rape by a woman earlier this month, Cleveland police confirmed to NFL.com.
The 21-year-old cornerback has not been charged however the incident being investigated by the sex crimes department. He has yet to be interviewed but the investigators have reached out to Conley. According to reports the alleged incident took place April 9th around 3 a.m. In the morning, but once police arrived Conley was not at the scene nor the hotel. She met Conley while out with friends that same night, but decided to go back to Conley's room after leaving friends.
After being propositioned, the victim said she didn't want to take part. She told police that she didn't want to have sex with Conley and felt she could avoid that by agreeing to watch the other couple. A short time later, the victim told police Conley grabbed her and raped her. She said she told Conley to stop. One of the witnesses told police he saw Conley and the victim laying on a bed at one point in the night, but added "nothing happened."
She was taken to the hospital and administered a rape kit after being interviewed by police.
Attorney Kevin Spellacy, without naming his client, earlier Tuesday denied the allegations to WOIO-TV in Cleveland, calling them "ludicrous and ridiculous."
Conley was scheduled to appear at the 2017 NFL draft in Philadelphia, but choose not to make the trip. Ironically I had him going to the Eagles at #14 spot.
