Former Baylor LB Myke Chatman Arrested for Alleged 2013 Sexual Assault

Former Baylor Bears linebacker Myke Chatman was arrested Thursday in Houston, Texas, in relation to the alleged 2013 sexual assault of a female student at the school, according to the Dallas Morning News' Sarah Mervosh. 

ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach confirmed Chatman, 23, was arrested for his role in the alleged assault. 

Chatman's arrest comes a day after former Baylor tight end Tre'von Armstead was arrested in relation to the alleged gang rape, per Mervosh. 

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna said the two were arrested because of "newly discovered evidence and continued investigation," according to Mervosh. 

The alleged 2013 assault is one component of a sweeping lawsuit that was brought against Baylor in January. 

The lawsuit, which was filed by an anonymous former Baylor student listed as Jane Doe, alleges "31 Baylor football players committed at least 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, between 2011 and 2014," per Mervosh. 

Specifically, Doe said she was raped by Armstead and Chatman following a party on April 18, 2013.
