Ohio State senior cornerback Amir Riep and redshirt senior safety Jahsen Wint were charged with rape and kidnapping Tuesday, according to a Franklin County Municipal Court report obtained by Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors.

Warrants have been issued for their arrests for the incident that allegedly occurred Feb. 4.

An Ohio State spokesperson announced the two students have been suspended from team activities.

"We are aware that two of our students have been arrested and criminally charged," the spokesperson said in a statement. "They have been suspended from all activities involving the football program. We will share more information when available."

The complaint states Riep filmed the sexual assault and forced the individual to say it was consensual before driving her back to her residence.

Riep and Wint's charges are first-degree felonies.
