University of Washington Student Athlete Under Investigation for Rape

It is not clear at this time exactly who is being charged, but from information gathered through various sources around the web and the redacted police report it appears an assumption can be made.

Until more information comes out its hard to say much more on the subject. If convicted the effect on not only the player's career and personal life, but the teams as well will be huge. We will have lost two players in a span of two weeks and gone from 12 scholarship players to 8 over the course of the season.

Tyreese Bresheers retired due to an undisclosed medical issue many believe is an enlarged heart or something similar. Desmond Simmons is red shirting. Abdul Gaddy is out with a torn ACL in his left knee. The accused player could be out a few games while under investigation or permanently should the conviction go through.

If the claims are found to be untrue, the player's name should not be released.

UW has declined to comment at the time being until the investigation is completed.

Here is the link to the police report
