Suspended USC linebacker Osa Masina was charged with rape and two counts of forcible sodomy by authorities in Utah on Thursday, according to a spokesman for the Cottonwood Heights Police Department.
Masina is also under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for an allegation that he assaulted the same woman in Los Angeles, according to an LAPD search warrant obtained by The Times. He has not been charged with a crime relating to that investigation.
USC notified Masina last Friday that he had been put on “interim suspension pending administrative review of a Title IX investigation,” according to his attorney, Greg Skordas.
