Aidan Atkinson Sexual Assault Scandal

[edit]

On November 22, 2019, the Fairview High School football team's star quarterback and three star Northwestern recruit,[9] Aidan Atkinson, was arrested on three counts of sexual assault, five counts of unlawful sexual misconduct, and one count of attempted sexual assault after he turned himself in to police. In December 2019, he was notably excluded from Northwestern's early signees in the 2020 recruiting class.[10] The alleged sexual assault occurred aboard a party bus on September 15, 2018. A victim alleged that Atkinson began to touch her inappropriately after she became intoxicated and was incapacitated. She also alleged that his behavior continued throughout the night.[11] More charges were added three months later after other allegations of inappropriate conduct were brought to police.[12] At the time, Atkinson and all victims were minors.[13] During the fallout of the scandal, a social worker at the school was charged with failing to report child abuse after it was alleged that a victim had told her about the assaults, though she was later acquitted by jury.[14] Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Atkinson's trial was postponed from November 9, 2020, to February 1, 2021.[11] The case was reported on by the USA Today, the Denver Post, and the Boulder Daily Camera, among other publications.

As of December 14, 2020, Atkinson still holds multiple Colorado state football records including, but not limited to, most career passing completions; most passing yards in a game; most passing touchdowns in a game; most career touchdowns; most career passing yards; and first and second most passing touchdowns in a season.[15]
