Washington Huskies running back Tybo Rogers was charged with raping two women in Seattle in two separate incidents toward the end of 2023.
Rogers was charged with second-degree rape and third-degree rape as he was booked into King County Jail on Tuesday. His bail was set at $150,000 in each case, according to charging documents.
Rogers, 18, played in the College Football Playoff for the Huskies as they defeated the Texas Longhorns in the semifinal and lost to the Michigan Wolverines in the national championship. According to the charging documents, at least one of the allegations was known to the school.
“The University of Washington Intercollegiate Athletics Department is aware of the arrest of a football student-athlete by the Seattle Police Department,” the school said in a statement, via FOX 13 Seattle. “The student-athlete has been suspended from all team activities until further notice. The UW will continue to gather facts and cooperate with law enforcement, as requested.”
The first allegations came from a Seattle Central Community College student. The student told police she was raped in the Capitol Hill neighborhood last year. She said that she and Rogers met on Tinder in August 2023. He went to her apartment to hang out with her on Oct. 23 and assaulted her, according to charging documents.
Law enforcement said in court documents the woman reported the alleged rape to police on Oct. 28 and completed a sexual assault hit. The woman is 19.
