Published|Updated

Iowa State football player Aidan Ralph was arrested Wednesday on very serious charges.

The Cyclones linebacker has been charged with felony sexual assault and misdemeanor domestic violence after an alleged attack against a woman at his residence in Ames, according to ESPN.

Ralph allegedly accused the unnamed woman of cheating and shoved her multiple times, including onto stairs, according to the police affidavit (via the same ESPN report). The unnamed alleged victim allegedly fractured her spine during the altercation. The woman allegedly begged Ralph to call for medical aid, but instead, he allegedly raped her while she was injured in the early morning hours of May 3.
