Former Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley is being investigated by police after a woman accused him of rape the morning of April 9 at a hotel in Cleveland. According to Cleveland Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Ciaccia, Conley has not been arrested or charged.
A potential top-20 draft pick, Conley was expected to be one of the first cornerbacks drafted in the first round of Thursday's NFL Draft. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that Conley has decided not to attend the NFL Draft festivities in Philadelphia.
According to the police report, the victim told police that she didn't want to have sex with Conley, but he grabbed and raped her in the hotel room despite her verbal resistance.
