Suspended Utah State receiver Gregory Hayden Weichers, who was arrested for soliciting a prostitute last fall, also has been charged with distribution of a controlled substance and sexual battery.
Weichers previously pleaded guilty to soliciting a prostitute and was indefinitely suspended from the team in November.
On Oct. 22, police responded to a call at a Logan, Utah hotel where a woman claimed to have been drugged and sexually assaulted. The woman admitted to being at the hotel for escort services, which prompted Weichers’ original arrest. However, police learned that Weichers came to the hotel with marijuana and sexually assaulted the woman.
Weichers, 20, faces one count of distributing a controlled substance, a third-degree felony, and sexual battery, a class-A misdemeanor. Weichers faces up to five years on the drug charge and up to a year on the sexual battery charge.
A court date has not yet been set.
