Gareon Conley, a 21-year-old superstar cornerback at Ohio State and projected first-round pick in this week’s NFL Draft, has been named in a police report by a woman who claims she was raped by Conley in a Cleveland hotel. Conley has adamantly denied the allegations.
What Happened?
According to a filed police report, a 23-year-old white female told authorities that Conley violated her in a hotel suite bathroom at a Westin hotel on April 9. The accuser says she met Conley in an elevator and he asked her to have a foursome with another friend of his. The woman says she declined the offer, but said she would watch the other people have sex instead.
Shortly after, the woman claims Conley unbuttoned her pants and began to have sex with her. She says she told him, “No, stop, it hurts!” but he continued. She says he then kicked her out of the hotel room.
She called 911 and told them she had been assaulted by a “black male who wouldn’t take his sunglasses off and had an Ohio State tattoo on his left forearm.”
The woman said she went to a local hospital afterwards where a rape kit was administered. She did not, however, speak to police.
Two of Conely’s friends who were at the hotel were interviewed by police and told cops the cornerback never hooked up with the woman and that she was upset that she got kicked out of the room.
Conley’s attorney spoke with Cleveland19 and denied the allegations calling the accusations “ludicrous and ridiculous.”
Cops are investigating but so far no arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.
