The woman said she had consensual sex with one of the players, Matthews, but then Jones and Nikkel entered the room, undressed, and sexually assaulted her while Matthews held her down. Matthews is also accused of taking pictures of the alleged assault and unlawfully disseminating them via text message.
When news of the arrest broke, the players were kicked off the Growlers. Team captain Blake Johnson issued a statement describing the allegations as"shocking and deeply concerning," and said that his club does not take charges of sexual assault lightly.
