Head Coach Ryan Day said in a statement to Eleven Warriors and others that he dismissed Wint and Riep from the football program. “I am not making any statement on the criminal charges, but it is clear they did not live up to our standards and my expectations. The athletics department will make sure they both continue to have access to the health and well-being resources available to students and student-athletes. Due to the ongoing criminal investigation, I will not be commenting further.”
According to the affidavit, Wint grabbed the woman by her neck, held her down and raped her. Riep then allegedly grabbed the victim and held her down with his body while Wint forced oral sex.
Following the alleged assault, police said that Riep recorded the woman who tearfully asked if he wanted her face on the video to which “he told her no, just say it was consensual.” He could reportedly be heard laughing at the victim on video.
Wint and Riep were being held in the Franklin County Municipal Jail without bond, online records indicated. Their next court appearance is slated for Thursday.
