OU running back Rodney Anderson denies rape claim, says accuser 'attempted to pursue a relationship' with him

NORMAN — Oklahoma's top running back, Rodney Anderson, fought back Tuesday against a rape allegation, writing on Twitter, "I did not do this."

His attorney said Tuesday the accuser made her claims only after Anderson "did not reciprocate a desire to pursue a relationship."

"Mr. Anderson did not, nor would he ever, force himself on any woman," the attorney, Derek Chance, said.

Police began investigating the accusation on Monday after the woman, a former University of Oklahoma student, reported Anderson raped her in the early hours of Nov. 16. She claims she started recalling images of the night "this past weekend."
