Kentucky running back Jamarion Wilcox was arrested on Friday and charged with sexual abuse.
The charge is reportedly stemming from a situation on August 20 where a woman accused Wilcox of “unwanted contact” at an off-campus apartment.
Here is an excerpt from WKYT’s report on the situation:
According to investigators, on August 20, officers received a report of unwanted sexual contact at a home on S. Upper Street. According to court records, a protective order was filed on August 20 by a woman who accused Wilcox of unwanted conduct at an off-campus apartment. A judge granted an emergency protective order.
Wilcox was taken into custody on Friday and is being held in the Fayette County Detention Center. He is charged with sexual abuse 1st degree.
Wilcox is technically still on the UK football team, but he has been suspended to this point for a violation of team rules.
