University of Montana Grizzlies starting quarterback Jordan Johnson is to appear in court next week to counter a temporary restraining order granted to a woman who says he sexually assaulted her.

“We deny the allegation,” David Paoli, Johnson’s attorney, said Friday. No charges against Johnson have been filed, according to the Missoula County Attorney’s Office.

Johnson and the woman are acquaintances, Paoli said. The alleged incident happened last month. Johnson did not return calls for comment.

Paoli said he’s had no communication with UM about the order. “I’m dealing with my client on that, not the university,” he said.

UM vice president Jim Foley said that neither he, nor president Royce Engstrom, nor athletic director Jim O’Day knew about the restraining order until Thursday evening.

“With regard to practice and his being on the team, we’ll decide on those actions over the course of the next couple of days,” Foley said Friday.

He said he’s spoken with Engstrom and with Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir about the details of the allegation.
