A former N.C. Central University student-athlete was charged Wednesday with raping a teammate, court records show.
Alan Webster III, 19, of Fuquay-Varina is accused of second-degree forcible rape, according to his arrest warrant.
Webster, a sophomore who was on the track and field team this season, is being held on $300,000 secured bail in the Jan. 13 incident, court documents show. The incident was reported to campus police March 25, according to the police department’s daily crime log, though a university spokesperson said the allegations were made March 23.
North Carolina general statute describes second-degree forcible rape as vaginal intercourse with someone else against the person’s will or if that person is mentally disabled, incapacitated or physically helpless.
The News & Observer is not naming the victim or providing further identifying details to protect their privacy.
An NCCU spokesperson said via email Thursday that Webster is not a current member of the track and field team but is enrolled at the university.
“The university is supporting the student who disclosed the reported incident through its standard Title IX process, which includes a thorough investigation,” the spokesperson wrote. “NCCU has a rigorous Student Code of Conduct, which is being followed in this matter.”
No further information will be shared “to protect the rights of the parties involved,” according to the spokesperson, who directed further inquiries to the Durham County District Attorney’s Office.
If Webster posts bail, he will be on electronic house arrest, may not have any contact with the victim and must stay at least 500 feet away from her, according to an order signed by District Court Judge Doretta Walker.
