Georgia linebacker Adam Anderson surrendered to Athens-Clarke County police on Wednesday on a rape charge.
Records obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution show that Anderson was booked at the Athens-Clarke County jail at 7:45 p.m and was not immediately released on bond. His attorney Steve Sadow released a statement to local media proclaiming his innocence.
“Adam is innocent of the charge brought against him and intends to vigorously defend himself in court,” Sadow said, per the statement. “He will seek release on bond. Once again, Adam hopes and prays that the UGA community and the public keep an open mind and afford him the presumption of innocence that the law demands.
