CORVALLIS, OR — A former Oregon State University football player is facing rape and sex abuse charges.

Jordan Pace, 19, was arraigned Monday and pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree rape, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, first-degree sodomy, and second-degree sexual abuse.

According to court documents, prosecutors claim Pace raped a woman in May of 2017.

A secret indictment was filed in the case last week, and Pace was arrested Monday.

Pace was released from jail after his arraignment on the condition he does not attend any classes with the victim. He is scheduled to be back in court in mid-December.

According to the OSU athletics website, Pace was a member of the football roster for the 2016 season as a cornerback during his freshman year.
