A 21-year-old Nigerian basketball player, Daniel Adegboyega, has been arrested and charged with first-degree rape by forcible compulsion in Alabama. According to police reports, the incident occurred on July 28 when the alleged victim, who had gone to Adegboyega's apartment to watch a movie, claimed he made unwanted sexual advances and later forcibly raped her twice. The victim's roommate called the police after failing to reach Adegboyega, leading to a welfare check where officers found the woman distressed. Adegboyega has pleaded not guilty and denies using force. His immigration status is under scrutiny, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placing an immigration hold on him due to an expired F-1 student visa. His host father disputes the immigration testimony, attributing the visa issues to administrative errors during university transfers. Jacksonville State University has removed Adegboyega's profile from their basketball team website, and a preliminary hearing is set for August 31.
