Colts linebacker Joshua McNary has denied allegations that he raped a woman, saying through his lawyer that he’s been unjustly accused.

Joshua McNary unhesitatingly denies all accusations made against him,” attorney Edward Schrager said, in a statement sent this morning to the Indianapolis Star. Following the public release of these allegations, Joshua immediately reported to law enforcement officials in a respectful and peaceful manner.

“The charges and affidavit publicly disseminated on Wednesday afternoon are not evidence of wrong doing, but simply one side’s story.”
McNary faces one count of rape, one count of criminal confinement and one count of battery, according to court documents He was taken into custody Wednesday night, but had been in the Colts locker room earlier in the day when reporters were there.

The Colts have simply said they’re trying to gather more information, otherwise saying little as they try to prepare for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.
