Ohio State Football Players Accused Of Rape

COLUMBUS, OH — Two Ohio State University football players have been accused of raping a woman in Columbus, according to court documents. Amir Riep, a cornerback, and Jahnsen Wint, a safety, were both taken into police custody Tuesday night.

"We are aware that two of our students have been arrested and criminally charged," a university spokesperson told Patch via email. "They have been suspended from all activities involving the football program. We will share more information when available.

Riep and Wint are to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Franklin County Municipal Court.

Both players face charges of rape with threat of force and kidnapping to engage in sexual activity, according to documents on the Franklin County Municipal Court website. The charges stem from an incident on Feb. 4, according to NBC News.

According to Fox 8 and court records, Riep was having consensual sex with a woman when she decided she wanted to stop. Then Wint walked into the room and the two football players held the woman down and continued having sex with her, Fox 8 reported.

The woman was then forced to make a video saying the sex had been consensual before she was driven home, ESPN reported.
