An affidavit released Friday offers further details in the sexual assault case against former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah Bond. Bond, considered a potential high draft pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, turned himself in to police last week on a warrant related to allegations dating back to February.
According to the affidavit, officers met with a woman at a Dallas medical center Feb. 6. She told authorities Bond initially contacted her via Instagram, leading to text conversations where they discussed meeting in Frisco, where Bond was training for the draft. Texts included discussion of having sex.
The woman stated she and Bond met Feb. 4 and engaged in consensual sexual activity after drinking wine. The affidavit says Bond then brought up a specific act previously discussed via text. The woman stated she told Bond she was not comfortable trying the act.
Despite her stated discomfort and attempts to push him away while telling him she was in pain, the affidavit says Bond proceeded with the act, using his body weight and covering her mouth.
After the encounter concluded, the affidavit states Bond told the woman, “alcohol makes me do things” and requested she sign a non-disclosure agreement. She refused the NDA and left the apartment.
Following her departure, the woman texted Bond about her pain and discomfort, stating he was wrong for continuing when asked to stop. The affidavit says Bond responded, offering money by texting, "You want a 1000 I'm really sorry!" and "Would that make it feel better." The woman expressed shock and questioned if the offer meant he knew his actions were wrong.
Later, as part of a police interview process Feb. 20, the woman texted Bond again. When she asked for an apology, the affidavit states Bond replied, "I did...". The woman responded by stating an apology wasn't offering money and reiterated she told him to stop and he had hurt her. Bond then replied, "I'm sorry," according to the affidavit. The document indicates the woman was subsequently unable to contact Bond.
Charges were filed, leading to an active warrant. Bond turned himself in April 10 and was released after posting bond. He has since filed a federal complaint against the complainant.
Bond, a dynamic player known for his speed, spent two seasons with Alabama before transferring to Texas for the 2024 season. While an ankle injury affected some production last season, he showcased game-changing speed. Despite the legal matter now potentially impacting his draft position, Bond remains an athlete with potential.
Bond addressed the accusation publicly after his arrest, stating he would cooperate with authorities.
"Regarding the accusation made against me, I would appreciate the time and opportunity to defend myself and prove the claims made, patently false," Bond said in a statement shared on social media.
