Now former Virginia football wide receiver Jahmal Edrine was arrested on Thursday, Feb. 5 and charged with one count of rape and one count of abduction, according to court documents.
The Albemarle County (Virginia) Police Department said it began an investigation into Edrine on Aug. 25 after a victim alleged she had been sexually assaulted the previous day. The probe wrapped up on Feb. 2, when an Albemarle County grand jury indicted Edrine.
He was taken into custody on Thursday and is being held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
Both charges are felonies.

Edrine, 22, was the second-leading receiver for a Cavaliers team that won a program-record 11 games and was an overtime loss to Duke in the ACC championship game away from earning a spot in the College Football Playoff.
