ST. GEORGE, Utah — A standout wide receiver at Brigham Young University is being charged with rape for an alleged incident that occurred last year.
The Washington County Attorney's Office announced that it filed a first-degree felony rape charge against 21-year-old Parker Trent Kingston on Tuesday. He was arrested and is being held in the Washington County Jail without bail.
A BYU Athletics spokesperson confirmed that they became aware of Kingston's arrest on Wednesday.
