An Iowa State football player has been arrested on alleged rape charges stemming from a December 2022 incident when police say he caused the victim to sustain a spine injury before attacking her, according to multiple reports.Â
Aidan Ralph, 20, was arrested Wednesday and charged with felony sexual assault and misdemeanor domestic violence charges following a Dec. 3, 2022 incident involving his girlfriend at the time.Â
According to a police affidavit, at around 1 a.m., Ralph accused the woman of cheating on him and an argument ensued. He began shoving her several times before eventually shoving her so hard into a set of stairs that he caused her to fracture her spine.Â
