University Football Player's DV Accuser Recants Accusations, Arrested

Story here. Excerpt:

A woman who accused a football player recruited by the Alabama Crimson Tide of assaulting her has now recanted and was subsequently charged with filing a false report.

According to AL.com, the accusation led to the arrest Saturday night of Jonathan Taylor, a defensive tackle on charges of domestic violence and assault. She called police Monday to recant her accusation and confirmed she filed a complaint under false pretenses the next day.

She was sent to county jail, but has since posted bond.

When police arrested Taylor, a six-foot-four, 335-pound defensive tackle, they found damage done to the 24-year-old woman's belongings as well as minor injuries on her neck, AL.com reported. At the time she said Taylor was responsible for both.

Kip Hart, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit assistant commander, told ESPN the physical evidence supported Taylor's arrest, though the woman's recanting has not closed the investigation. An expert on domestic violence cases, he said it is common for victims to recant and in this one investigators are "just scratching the surface of what's going on."'
