A senior on the Utah football team has been suspended after he was accused of rape.
Jamal Wallace, a defensive lineman, is currently under investigation amid the allegation – he also is accused of sharing videos of the incident on social media.
Wallace was arrested earlier this month on charges that include five misdemeanors.

“We were made aware of the situation with Jamal Wallace on Oct. 11, and he was immediately placed on an indefinite suspension from the program,” Utah said in a statement. “We take these matters seriously. As this is a pending legal matter, we have no further comment at this time.”
Multiple outlets say the woman said she was in an on-and-off relationship with Wallace, and on Oct. 9, they were discussing their relationship when he forced her to perform oral sex and have intercourse.
Salt Lake City police then said they found videos of the incident on Wallace’s phone. The woman claimed the videos were sent to five people via Snapchat. She also alleged Wallace physically assaulted her during the incident.
Wallace, who has denied assaulting the alleged victim, was released on $5,000 bail.
Wallace appeared in one game this season after transferring from Tennessee. He appeared in six games for the Vols last year.
