BURLINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) - An 18-year-old Burlington man has been charged with rape and sodomy after allegedly attacking a woman several times Sunday.

The Boone County Sheriff's Office says Jacob Walter raped and sodomized the woman throughout the day. The victim told the sheriff's office she was afraid of Walter due to his size, strength and aggressiveness and told Walter she didn't want to have sex with him, but he held her down and forced himself on her. He also reportedly pulled her hair and choked her. 

Walter is 7-feet tall and weighs about 300 pounds.

The victim reportedly told him to stop and that he was hurting her, but said Walter dismissed her by laughing and telling her she would be fine.

The sheriff's office said the victim told a family member about the assaults. That family member was able to get Walter to leave the residence and contacted the sheriff's office to report the assaults. After he left, Walter reportedly called the victim multiple times, saying he was sorry.

The sheriff's office said the victim sustained injuries on several parts of her body, including contusions on her arm, breast and buttocks and lacerations to her anus.

Walter was arrested Tuesday and is currently being held in the Boone County Detention Center on a $250,000 bond.

Walter is the son of Joe Walter, who played for the Bengals. He was formerly a basketball star at Covington Catholic High School, helping lead the team to a state championship in 2018. He graduated in 2018 and had committed to play for Xavier University in August 2017 but he never enrolled or suited up for the team. Xavier officials never gave a reason why.
