A Brigham Young University star football player was arrested in connection with an alleged assault that happened last year in Utah, the Washington County Attorney’s Office announced.
Parker Trent Kingston, 21, was charged with first-degree felony rape, a news release stated on Wednesday. He is being held without bail in Washington County, in southwest Utah, and is scheduled to make his first appearance in court on Friday.
The county attorney’s office said a 20-year-old woman reported to police at St. George’s Regional Hospital that she was sexually assaulted on Feb. 23, 2025, according to the news release.
Attorney information was not listed for Kingston, and his family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“The Washington County Attorney’s Office takes allegations of sexual assault seriously,” the news release states. “We thank the medical professionals and law enforcement officers who assisted with this investigation for their partnership and professionalism.”
The woman told a forensic interviewer with the county attorney’s office that she had met up with Kingston, but set clear boundaries with him and told him that she did not want to have sex, court documents state.
