Waco police on Wednesday arrested former Baylor University football player Shawn Oakman on charges he sexually assaulted a fellow student after leaving a Waco nightclub with her early Sunday morning.

Oakman, 24, who graduated from Baylor in December, declined comment to the Tribune-Herald when asked last week about the allegations. Oakman, Baylor’s all-time sack leader, was waiting to be booked into the jail Wednesday afternoon and no bond information was available.

Waco police searched his James Avenue residence on April 3 looking for evidence to support the woman’s claims that Oakman sexually assaulted her between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. that same day.

Oakman, an NFL draft prospect, told Waco police detectives the sexual contact was consensual.

A police affidavit for the search warrant said police were looking for clothing the woman left behind at Oakman’s duplex, earrings, blood, semen, bodily fluids, hair, skin cells, DNA, bedsheets and other items.

Court documents indicate officers seized two comforters, a fitted sheet and a flat sheet from Oakman’s bedroom.

The woman went to the hospital after the alleged assault and was examined by a sexual assault nurse examiner, according to the court records.

The affidavit, drafted by Waco police Detective Sam Key, said the woman met Oakman at a Baylor-area bar on Speight Avenue and Oakman asked her if she wanted to go to his residence. They walked to Oakman’s duplex and Oakman “forced” her into a bedroom, according to the affidavit.

Oakman “forcibly removed” the woman’s clothes, “forced” her onto the bed and sexually assaulted her, the affidavit alleges.

The woman left, but told police she left her panties at the duplex and lost an earring in the bedroom.

“Investigating officers briefly spoke with suspect and he admitted to only having consensual sex with victim,” the affidavit states.

Oakman sent a message on his Twitter account at 8:06 a.m. April 3 that said, “The devil will come and try to strip you of everything you worked for.”

I have seen these situations a few thousand times. Unfourtunatley for the real victims it clouds the entire situation. There is almost never a way to have more than two sides when you need a third.

I have to assume the rape kit turned up something, otherwise they wouldn't go after him this aggressively, but even then those are very suspect. Prospects and player are going to have to start making their partners sign forms saying they were willing participants.

It doesn't work in his favor that Baylor is being investigated for wide spread sexual assault claims and evidence of cover-ups.

This. Women aren't stupid and just the allegation + the dna is probably enough to win a civil suit. I'm not saying he's innocent. Just saying I'm not jumping to conclusions either way and these athletes better start taking precautions.

These stories make me nuts. One the one hand, she meets him in a bar and walks to his duplex at 2AM. Hard to believe there was a lot of confusion about what was reasonably expected to go down. He's soon to be an NFL player, and he's exposed with the draft coming up and a lot to lose. I'm not saying in any way, shape, or form she was asking for it. I'm saying there's incentive for her to set him up here.

On the other hand, these allegations are serious, and if they're legit, he deserves whatever's coming to him.

Whoever took advantage of who here, you hope it's clear, and you hope they pay for it.

Sadly a DNA kit, her panties and earring along with a good sob story at trial is probably enough for her to win a civil suit even if it was consensual. Unless there are signs of physical abuse on the victim, it's going to be really hard to prove one way or another. It's basically he said, she said.

*Disclaimer*

Again, not saying he's innocent.

Heh. These threads are always difficult to talk about, because somebody's a scumbag and you're not sure who it is. You can't trust the press to get it right, one way or another, and the scumbag might even get away with it. But yeah, the hurdle to clear in a civil suit is lower for obvious reasons, too.
