Ex-Georgia LB Adam Anderson indicted, charged with rape of 21-year-old woman

A grand jury on Tuesday indicted former Georgia linebacker Adam Andersonand charged with him raping a 21-year-old woman in a house in Athens, Georgia, on Oct. 29.

Anderson, who was once considered a potential first-round choice in this week's NFL draft, has an arraignment scheduled for June 13.

Anderson, from Rome, Georgia, was arrested on Nov. 10 and released on $25,000 bond a week later. He had been indefinitely suspended from the football team since the athletic department was notified of the allegation on Nov. 2.

According to an Athens-Clarke County Police Department incident report, the woman told police that she went to a house between midnight and 7 a.m. on Oct. 29. After having drinks, the woman said, she woke up while Anderson was raping her. She reported it to the police that day.

A second woman later accused Anderson of sexually assaulting her in neighboring Oconee County, Georgia, in October 2020. He has not been charged in that case.

"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," Anderson's attorney, Steve Sadow, said in a statement to ESPN. "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."
On Oct. 30, Anderson played in the Bulldogs' 34-7 victory over Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. A Georgia official said the athletic department wasn't aware of the allegation when he played against the Gators.

The university's Equal Opportunity Office, which handles complaints of sexual assault and Title IX violations, had opened a separate investigation into the allegation.

Anderson was one of the stars of Georgia's defense before his arrest. At the time of his suspension, he led the team with five sacks and was second with 5.5 tackles for loss to go with 32 tackles and 14 quarterback hurries. He didn't play in the team's final seven games.

At 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, Anderson was ranked the No. 29 prospect for the 2022 NFL draft by ESPN's Todd McShay and the No. 4 outside linebacker by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. at the time of his arrest.

Anderson had been training in south Florida and had a private workout for NFL scouts from 17 teams at a high school in Athens in March.

Yikes.

Our RB Macintosh got arrested the other day too (not as serious as a crime as Anderson).

Hope this isn't a Jimbo at FSU in 2014 situation part deux.

Isn't this just a regular off season for UGA?
I remember Spurrier saying he liked playing UGA at the beginning of the season because they always had a few players suspended

That is not a bad idea.

My contributions to the "Worst Internet Content" thread would make an outstanding CV for that position.

EDIT: In my defense, UGA winning a NC Championship is so rare that I wouldn't not know the proper way to refer to it in writing 8D

In our defense, a lot of us have not.

This is how Georgia fans under 45 used to interact with those who could remember 1980:

Georgia Bulldogs break NFL record with 15 players drafted

The Georgia Bulldogs won their first national championship since 1980 in January and they now have won the NFL draft.

The Bulldogs, powered by the nation's top-scoring defense, set a record this weekend for players from one school selected in a seven-round draft. Georgia, when cornerback Derion Kendrick and tight end John FitzPatrick were taken with back-to-back picks in the sixth round (Nos. 212 and 213 overall), finished with 15 players selected in this year's draft.

The current seven-round format began in 1994. The previous record in the format had been set by Ohio State with 14 players selected in 2004 draft and LSU with 14 in 2020, including quarterback Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick.

Georgia had already set a record Thursday night for the common draft era with five defensive players chosen in the opening round, led by Travon Walker at the No. 1 pick overall.
