BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA - An LSU football player has been booked on charges he raped a woman he met in an Internet chat room, police said Thursday. <br>
<br>
Donovan Grayson Jr., 19, surrendered to police after a warrant for his arrest was issued based on the woman's accusations, LSU police spokesman Capt. Ricky Adams said. <br>
<br>
Grayson, who is a linebacker for the Tigers, met the unidentified woman in a chat room Thursday night, according to the warrant. <br>
<br>
She then drove to his apartment, where she said Grayson led her to his bedroom and locked the door and raped her after she repeatedly told him no. <br>
<br>
The woman told police she did not call for help because she feared he would hurt her. <br>
<br>
Adams said Grayson ``disputes her version of the events'' and that the investigation is ongoing. <br>
<br>
LSU Sports Information Director Michael Bonnette said LSU coach Nick Saban had no comment until he gets more information on the matter. Saban also said he had not made a decision regarding Grayson's status on the team.
