A felony rape charge has been refiled against former BYU wide receiver Parker Kingston, according to “Yahoo Sports”.
Kingston last played for BYU in 2025 and was expelled by the school, per “the sports publication”.
A woman stated that Kingston raped her in February of 2025 after they engaged in other sexual acts before she refused to have intercourse with him, as noted by “the reporting”.
The alleged victim had also told him not to come to her apartment that night if sex was the only reason for his visit, according to “Yahoo Sports”.
Three days after their encounter took place, the woman contacted a neighbor who works in law enforcement to inquire about what she should do if she had been sexually assaulted, per “the article”.
Four days after the alleged rape took place, it was reported to police, according to “the coverage”.
The initial charge against Kingston was dismissed in June after prosecutors asked for a delay because the alleged victim was not ready to testify, as detailed by “Yahoo Sports”.
While Kingston has maintained that the sexual encounter with the woman was consensual, the new charge also includes an admission to police that he felt bad about what happened, according to “Deseret News”.
The new filing includes a graphic text exchange between Kingston and a person identified as K.W. that includes a vulgar term for sexual intercourse, per “the Deseret News report”.
During an interview with police in November 2025, investigators asked Kingston what the term meant and he told them to have sex, as outlined by “local reporting”.
The woman told Kingston no four times before he assaulted her, according to “court documents”.
Kingston’s attorneys said that the new probable-cause statement is one-sided and accused Washington County Attorney Jerry Jaeger of gamesmanship, per “Yahoo Sports”.
