Former Maryland center Damonte Dodd allowed to play basketball in Poland while awaiting rape trial

A Maryland judge has allowed former Terps center Damonte Dodd to play basketball professionally in Poland as he awaits a trial for charges of second-degree rape and second-degree assault.

Dodd, who played for Maryland from 2013 to 2017, was indicted in July and is accused of rape stemming from an incident that took place in College Park on Oct. 31, 2017.

Dodd agreed in July to turn in his passport as a condition of his release, but his attorney requested an emergency hearing to get the passport back, according to court records.

“That’s certainly something we argued against,” Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Spokesperson Gina Ford said, per NBC4.
