Former West Virginia star running back Justin Crawford has been arrested in Georgia on felony charges of incest, sodomy and enticing a child for indecent purpose, according to TMZ Sports.
A former standout college running back admitted to having sex with a 12-year-old girl, telling investigators that the sexual encounter was her idea, police said.
Justin Crawford, 23, was spotted by his wife standing over the young girl while he had an erection at about 5 a.m. Saturday in the living room of the couple’s Columbus home, the Ledger-Enquirer reports.
Prosecutors say Crawford’s victim is a 12-year-old girl.
When pressed by investigators, officials say Crawford eventually admitted having sexual intercourse and oral sex with the girl — and said it was her idea.
The girl told investigators she was asleep in the living room when Crawford began to sexually assault her. A rape kit was later administered on the girl. Crawford is currently behind bars — being held without bond. The 23-year-old is facing charges of incest, child molestation sodomy and enticing a child for indecent purpose, all felonies.
