Former Georgia LB Adam Anderson Indicted, Charged with Raping Woman

A grand jury indicted a former Georgia football player on Tuesday on a charge of raping a woman last October.

Steve Sadow is Anderson's attorney.

"Adam respectfully reminds the public and his supporters that he was not permitted by law to participate in the grand jury proceeding, which is totally under the control of the prosecution. This means his defense was not presented or argued to the grand jurors. Adam will plead not guilty to the charge and continue his fight in court to clear his name and reputation. Adam once again appeals to the good citizens of Athens-Clarke County to keep an open mind and not prejudge his case."

Anderson was arrested on an arrest warrant. At the time, Sadow said his client was innocent and intended to defend himself in court.

The Athens-Clarke County Police Department received a report from a woman who said that Anderson had penetrated her without her consent after having drinks.

One day after the alleged rape, the star senior played in a 34-7 victory over Florida. The team suspended him less than a week after police released the report.

The second woman said that Anderson had raped her. He hasn't faced criminal charges from that case.

Before his arrest, Anderson was considered a possible first-round pick in the NFL draft.

Despite his legal situation, the Georgia native continued to work towards a possible move to the NFL. In March, he staged a private workout for teams.
