A former Covington Catholic High School basketball standout who once had a scholarship offer from Xavier University was indicted on rape and sodomy charges Thursday.

Jacob Walter, 18, of Burlington, was arrested on Dec. 11. Walter, son of Bengals great Joe Walter, also had a protective order issued against him.

An 18-year-old female had reported the rape a few days prior to Walter's arrest, according to the Boone County Sheriff's Office.

The victim stated she was fearful of Walter, "due to his size, strength and aggressiveness" and told Walter that she did not want to have sex with him due to her not feeling well that day, Boone County officials said in a news release.

Authorities say on two occasions, Walter sodomized the victim while holding her down and pulling her hair, which resulted in physical injury. They say he dismissed the victim by laughing at her and telling her she would be fine.

"The victim told a family member about the sexual assaults and the family member was able to get Walter to leave the residence," authorities said.

The victim sustained bruises to her right arm, and her right breast and a cut on her chest.

Walter has been held at the Boone County Detention Center on a $250,000 since his arrest.

Court records indicate that Walter was charged as a juvenile in May with domestic violence, but the charge was dismissed and the documents in the case were ordered to be sealed.

Walter graduated from CovCath in the spring of 2018.

Walter is scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday.
