Program Action Taken
The Utes placed senior defensive tackle Jamal Wallace on indefinite suspension after learning of his arrest on five misdemeanor counts related to distributing an intimate image. The school has stated it takes such matters seriously and will offer no further comment while the legal process continues. Wallace was released on five thousand dollars bail after the arrest.
Details of the Allegations
Wallace is also under investigation for rape and forcible sodomy. According to arrest documents, the woman involved said she and Wallace had been in an on-and-off relationship and that he forced her to perform oral sex and then forcibly had sex with her while hitting her several times. She later discovered he had used her phone to record the incident and shared videos of it with five people via Snapchat. Police confirmed the videos existed and that the phone was in Wallace's possession during the recording.
Player Background and Response
Wallace has denied sexually assaulting the woman and told police he accessed her Snapchat account only to check whom she had been contacting. He appeared in one game for Utah this season after transferring from Tennessee, where he played in six games. No charges have been filed in the broader investigation at this time.
