In the early morning hours on Monday, TMZ Sports reported that LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips was under investigation for rape after a fellow female LSU student athlete filed a report with police.

“Here’s what we know … cops were called to a Baton Rouge hospital on June 11 to respond to a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Phillips early that morning.

18-year-old Phillips was a prized recruit for LSU — he was ranked as one of the top high school linebackers in the country.

Sources with direct knowledge of the case tell us … the accuser claims she had a previous romantic relationship with Phillips but had cut things off before the alleged incident.

The accuser told police she very clearly turned down Phillips’ sexual advancements on June 11 — but he kept going. We’re told the woman insists she repeatedly told Phillips to leave but he refused.

The woman went to the hospital a few hours later where a rape kit was administered and police took photos of bruises she claims she sustained in the alleged rape.”
