Police investigating allegations that a UConn soccer player sexually assaulted a female classmate earlier this year obtained a series of text messages and photos that revealed a “disturbing progression” of physical and sexual violence against the woman over the course of several encounters, new court records show.
Ziyad Fekri, 21, is accused of twice using a pocket knife to force his former romantic partner to have sex against her will, both holding it to her throat and making superficial cuts across her neck and stomach during the assaults, according to a new arrest warrant affidavit released for the first time Tuesday.
