Sooners RB Rodney Anderson won't face charges after rape accusation

Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson will not be charged with a crime after being accused of rape earlier this month, Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn announced Thursday afternoon.

Earlier this month, an Oklahoma University employee filed for a victim's protection order against Anderson. The protection order alleged that the Sooner running back raped her two weeks prior.

Anderson denied the claims.

Anderson's attorney last week called the allegations "patently false."

The sophomore is Oklahoma's leading rusher this season with 960 yards on ground with 16 total touchdowns.

The Sooners play Georgia in the College Football Playoff at the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
