DETAILS INSIDE
Just days before their AFC Championship game,
Indianapolis Colts player Josh McNary has been
reportedly charged with rape, criminal confinement
with bodily injury and battery resulting in bodily injury.
A 29-year-old woman accused an unknown man of
sexually assaulting her on Dec. 1st. Police officials
determined that McNary was a suspect after
investigating a cell phone the woman said she took
from her attacker’s apartment.
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed,
picked McNary out of a lineup of photos and said he
looked familiar but could not say he was the culprit for
sure. She claims that she and her attacker got into a
physical altercation where she scratched his face,
back, neck and shoulders before she was allegedly
sexually assaulted.
McNary’s lawyer, Ed Schrager, said that he denies the
allegations but turned himself in to law enforcement
officials in a “respectful and peaceful manner.”
“The charges and affidavit publicly disseminated on
Wednesday afternoon are not evidence of wrong
doing but simply one side’s story,” Schrager said in a
statement. “Joshua has full and confidence in the American way, including its justice system, which he
pledged to protect and defend as a West Point
graduate and lieutenant in the United States Army.”
When McNary’s home was investigated by police, he
reportedly told them “I know why you’re here” and had
evidence of his own preserved for the police. The
Colts have also issued a statement saying they cannot
give their thoughts on the situation due to not knowing
many details.
“Unfortunately that’s the limit of our knowledge,” said
the team, who have a 13-5 standing. “At this time we
are very concerned and trying to find out what the relevant facts are, but we have insufficient information
to venture any opinion. As we learn more we will make appropriate updates.” The Indianapolis Colts play the
New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game
on Sunday, Jan. 19th.
