[/caption]University of Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson was charged Tuesday afternoon with sexual intercourse without consent, after a lengthy investigation by the Missoula County Attorney's Office.

Johnson has been ordered to appear for arraignment in District Court on August 14th at 9:30 am. Charging documents are attached.

Jordan and his family are surprised and saddened by the county’s decision to levy a criminal charge now, given that the encounter between Jordan and the complainant occurred in early February and the police have been aware of the allegation since she filed a report 6 weeks later. Jordan strongly maintains his innocence and looks forward to the opportunity to prove his innocence at trial, clear his name and return to pursuing his education.”
