Judge grants UGA football player bond in rape case

ATHENS, Ga. - A judge granted bond for a UGA football player accused of rape.
A police report said a 21-year-old woman accused UGA linebacker Adam Anderson of rape on Oct. 29. A judge granted Anderson a $25,000 bond with restrictions.
There is a second alleged rape victim who came forward after the initial allegations surfaced. This incident allegedly happened in October 2020 in Oconee County.
According to the incident report pertaining to the initial allegations, a woman said she went to an Athens residence on Oct. 29 after having some drinks and woke up on a bed while Anderson was having sexual intercourse with her. The woman told officers the sex was not consensual and that she was able to leave the residence.
Anderson was suspended by Georgia while being investigated by Athens-Clarke County Police for the alleged rape. He surrendered himself voluntarily and maintains his innocence.
"Adam is innocent of the charge brought against him and intends to vigorously defend himself in court," Attorney Steve Sadow said in the statement. "He will seek release on bond. Once again, Adam hopes and prays that the UGA community and the public keep an open mind and afford him the presumption of innocence that the law demands."
At least three other Georgia football players gave their accounts of the evening the alleged incident occurred.
