Former LSU player faces sexual battery charge

Updated:

GONZALES, La. (AP) - Ascension Parish prosecutors have brought a charge of sexual battery against former LSU running back Charles Scott.

The Advocate reports Assistant District Attorney Robin O'Bannon filed a bill of information against Scott on Monday.

The 23-year-old Scott is set for arraignment Thursday at the Ascension Parish Courthouse Annex in Gonzales.

The bill accuses Scott of sexual battery on Nov. 13 against a woman identified only by her initials.

Scott was arrested Nov. 13 on a count of simple rape of an 18-year-old woman.

It couldn't be determined if Scott had an attorney.
