Former NFL Atlanta Falcons player Justin Crawford, 23, was arrested on Saturday October 13, 2018 for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl at his home in Columbus, GA.
Justin even admitted to having sex and oral sex with the victim.
The Falcons signed Justin in May as a free agent but he was cut from the team in September.
At a probable cause hearing on Monday, Columbus police detective Mark Scruggs testified that Justin’s wife Chakeya had got out of bed around 4 a.m. Saturday and discovered her husband Justin with an erect and exposed penis standing over the 12-year-old girl in their living room.
Chakeya went back to bed but felt uneasy about what she saw.
Moments later Justin woke the girl up from sleeping and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Justin then made the girl have sex with him.
Later on that Saturday the girl told her mother that Justin raped her. Police were then notified.
A sexual assault kit was later administered to the girl to preserve any DNA evidence.
Justin was arrested and first denied the rape to police. But, when pressed by police, Justin admitted that he had sex and oral sex with the 12-year-old girl, stating that it was the girl’s idea to have sex.
Justin is charged with sodomy, aggravated child molestation, incest and enticing a child for indecent purposes — all felonies.
