Report: Star recruit faces rape charges

A top high school football recruit is behind bars after being booked on two charges of rape, ThisWeek Pickerington reported. Roger Lewis, a highly-touted wide receiver out of Ohio's Pickerington High School Central, was expected to announce his college destination during Wednesday's national signing day, but was instead facing arraignment on charges that he raped an 18-year-old woman. The alleged victim -- an acquaintance of Lewis, according to police -- claims the rapes took place in December and on Jan. 6, at which time a police report was filed. Lewis, 18, reportedly surrendered to police Tuesday after a near month-long investigation. He was held overnight on a $250,000 bond. The six-foot-one, 190-pound wideout was expected to finalize where he would play college football next fall Wednesday, choosing between Ohio University, Bowling Green or Marshall, according to Yahoo! Sports. Lewis, a three-star prospect who was ranked the 89th best receiver in the 2012 class by Scout.com, committed to Ohio State last August, but was later ruled academically ineligible to attend the Big Ten school.
