Gareon Conley to Meet with Police, Reportedly Give DNA After Rape Allegation

Gareon Conley remains fully cooperative with police in order to clear his name after a rape allegation surfaced shortly before the draft. 

Per Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Conley is scheduled to meet with Cleveland police Monday afternoon and reportedly will provide a DNA sample as part of the process.

The former Ohio State cornerback was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the No. 24 pick in the first round of the NFL draft.

The 21-year-old has maintained his innocence throughout the process, providing a statement about the accusations, via USA Today:

"

I pride myself on doing things the right way on and off the field. The things being said about me and what happened that night are not true and don't fit my character at all. I realize that I put myself in the situation and I could have used better judgment. However, I have worked tirelessly to put myself in position to have the honor of being an NFL draft pick and these untrue allegations are putting a huge cloud over my name and the NFL draft.

"

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Conley also passed a lie detector test administered by a team prior to Thursday's first round.

The alleged sexual assault took place at the Westin Hotel in Cleveland on April 9. To this point, no charges have been filed.
