Former Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman was released from jail Thursday morning after posting $25,000 bond.

He was arrested Wednesday on a sexual assault charge, 10 days after authorities executed a search warrant at his campus area apartment and six days after his 24th birthday.

Oakman was arrested at around 2 p.m. Wednesday after meeting with Waco detectives about the sexual assault investigation, police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

During the meeting, police served Oakman two search warrants, one for his cellphone and one for his DNA.

“Immediately after the execution of those search warrants, Mr. Oakman was served with a warrant of arrest for a charge of sexual assault,” Swanton said.

Waco Municipal Judge Christopher Taylor signed the arrest warrant and State District Judge Jim Meyer signed the search warrants, he said.

Warrant returns indicate that DNA samples were taken from Oakman’s mouth and that investigators seized his cellphone, which was used twice to place calls to the alleged victim after Oakman learned he was under investigation.

The affidavit issued for the search warrant Wednesday says the alleged victim texted Oakman from a campus area nightclub where the two met and says he later made two attempts to contact her by phone after he became aware of the investigation.

The arrest warrant issued Wednesday includes the same sexual assault allegations against Oakman as an affidavit submitted for a search warrant on April 3 for Oakman's residence.

The search warrant was issued within 12 hours of the time the assault allegedly occurred at a duplex near the university campus.

Officers responded early in the morning on April 3 to the emergency room of Providence Health Center in response to a report of a sexual assault, the affidavit says.

The victim told police she met with the suspect, identified as Oakman, at Scruffy Murphy’s, a campus-area club, and then walked with him to the nearby duplex, the affidavit said.

Once inside, the woman said that her clothing was forcibly removed and that she was forced onto the bed and sexually assaulted, the affidavit said.

The woman was able to leave after the alleged assault, but told police she left her panties in the duplex and that she lost an earring in the bedroom, the affidavit said.

At the hospital, the affidavit said, she was treated for unspecified injuries and a sexual assault examination was conducted, the affidavit said.

Officers “briefly spoke with Oakman,” the affidavit said, “and he admitted to only having consensual sex with the victim.”

The search warrant was issued just before 2 p.m. April 3 and then was executed that afternoon at a duplex in the 1200 block of James Avenue near the university campus.

Investigators seized two comforters, a fitted sheet and a flat sheet from the residence, according to the warrant’s return and inventory.

The inventory did not include the woman's panties or the missing earring.

Baylor didn’t comment specifically on the allegations.

“The university will cooperate fully with any investigation,” university spokeswoman Lori Fogelman said.

Oakman is a two-time All-Big 12 selection who ranks first on Baylor’s all-time sacks list and second on the school’s all-time tackles for loss list.

He wasn’t projected to be selected in the first round of the NFL draft later this month, but was ranked in the top 100 before the sexual assault allegations surfaced.

“While we are aware that there appears to be the beginning of an investigation, no charges have been filed and we are cooperating in this investigation,” Oakman’s agent, Kennard McGuire, said in a statement, which was issued after news of the search broke, to David Smoak, the program director for ESPN-Central Texas.

The arrest came as the university implements an action plan approved in February by Baylor University regents intended to prevent sexual violence on campus and to improve treatment and services "for all those impacted by interpersonal violence" to ensure "that the educational, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of victims are given prompt and priority attention," the university said in a press release.

The plan includes additional funding to increase the size of the school's counseling staff as well as "the quantity and quality of university space dedicated to counseling and the support of victims of interpersonal violence."

The plan also calls for taking steps to address the needs of students who prompt Title IX investigations; requiring Title IX training for upperclassmen and graduate students as well as to incoming students, and requiring annual Title IX training for faculty and staff.

Title IX, which is part of a more than 40-year-old law aimed at ensuring equal rights for those participating in educational programs that receive federal financial assistance, applies to all facets of a school's environment.

It has been interpreted to mean that sexual harassment of students including sexual violence interferes with the right to receive an education free from discrimination, and requires schools to take immediate action to end harassment and sexual violence.

The vote on Feb. 12 came after a scathing ESPN report on the school's handling of well publicized campus sexual assault cases involving two former football players.

ESPN's "Outside the Lines" report focused on five women who claim Tevin Elliott, who was Baylor football player at the time, sexually assaulted them in incidents from October 2009 to April 2012.

Elliott's attorney Jason Darling argued that the initial allegations were untrue and the sexual, but in January 2014, Elliot was sentenced to two concurrent 20-years prison terms and a $10,000 fine after he was found guilty earlier in the day of two counts of sexual assault.

Elliott, a former defensive end, was indicted on Aug. 27, 2012 in connection with an incident involving the sexual assault of a woman in the early morning hours of April 15, 2012, during a party at a South Waco apartment complex.

Baylor suspended Elliott April 27, 2012 for unspecified team violations.

On Aug. 20, 2015, ex-Baylor football player Samuel Ukwuachu was found guilty of raping a female Baylor soccer player in October 2013.

He could have been sentenced to as much as 20 years in prison for the rape of the 18-year-old student, but jurors decided on probation, instead.

State District Judge Matt Johnson also sentenced Ukwuachu to 180 days in county jail and ordered him to perform 400 hours of community service.

In October 2015, Ukwuachu was released from jail after posting a $100,000 appeal bond.

In a third incident unrelated to the athletic program, on March 4 Phi Delta Theta suspended its Baylor chapter and ejected the chapter’s president, who was charged with sexual assault in an alleged rape in which the victim was left lying outside unconscious.

Jacob Walter Anderson, 20, was released after posting a $50,000 bond.

The charge against Anderson stems from an incident that occurred early in the morning on Feb. 21 during a party at a house at 2629 South 3rd St.

The victim told investigators she was sipping a drink at a Phi Delta Theta fraternity party when “she became disoriented and very confused,” a heavily redacted arrest warrant affidavit released Friday says.

The affidavit says Anderson led her outside to a secluded party of the property behind a tent in order to get some air, and then forced her to the ground.

Details of the sexual assault were redacted from the affidavit, which says the victim told investigators that at some point she was unable to breathe and lost consciousness.

She woke up outside, alone and lying face down in her own vomit, the affidavit said.

She was “able to stand up and walk out from that area and find help,” the affidavit said.

The victim returned to the house and found a friend who took her to Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

Anderson’s attorney, Clyde Chandler of Cameron, would not comment on the specific accusations Friday, but said, ““There’s only one presumption in the law and that is all people are presumed innocent and he is presumed innocent unless he is proved guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.”

“And people need to quit jumping to conclusions,” he said.
