Overview
- Washington County prosecutors filed the felony charge and Kingston, 21, is being held without bail with an initial court appearance set for Friday in Utah’s Fifth Judicial District Court.
- Prosecutors say a then-20-year-old woman reported to officers at St. George Regional Hospital that Kingston sexually assaulted her on Feb. 23, 2025.
- Investigators with the St. George Police Department collected digital and forensic evidence and interviewed the parties and other witnesses before submitting the case for review.
- A probable-cause affidavit released to media outlines the accuser’s claim that she told Kingston in messages she did not want sex and that she told him to stop, while Kingston told investigators the encounter was consensual.
- BYU acknowledged the arrest, said it will cooperate with law enforcement, and declined further comment under privacy rules; Kingston was the team’s leading receiver in 2025.
