Last week, Denver Broncos rookie cornerback Perrish Cox was arrested, after police received a sexual assault complaint on October 28th. Although the specificity of the charges are sealed, the Denver Post is reporting that the charges are class 3 and class 4 felonies - sex assault on a helpless victim and sex assault on a victim incapable of appraising her condition.
If convicted, Cox can face up to two years to life in prison.
Cox is out on $50,000 bond, after briefly appearing in front of a judge for his arrest; he's still practicing and traveling with the team.
Although the name of the victim has not been released, the Denver Post is reporting that she is a local model who has appeared in several photo shoot spreads for some local magazines and websites.
Neither Cox, his defense team or the victim has commented on the case. The Post, along with the Associated Press and the New York Times are seeking to have the details of the case made public.
