FRISCO, Texas — Content warning: This article contains graphic details of sexual assault that may not be suitable for all readers.

An affidavit obtained by WFAA on Friday revealed new details about the alleged sexual assault by formeTexas Longhorns wide receiver and NFL Draft prospect Isaiah Bond.

Bond turned himself in to Frisco police Thursday morning on an outstanding sexual assault warrant with allegations dating back to February. 

According to the affidavit, officers met with the victim, an adult woman, at Methodist Dallas Medical Center on Feb. 6. 

The woman told officers that Bond initially sent her a direct message on Instagram and that the pair eventually started texting each other, the affidavit states. Over text, Bond told the woman he would be in the Frisco area for training related to the upcoming NFL Draft and asked if she would be willing to meet up, per the affidavit. The affidavit says their text conversations then turned to mutual discussions of having sex and engaging in one act in particular, which the victim said she would consider. 

According to the affidavit, the two eventually met in person on Feb. 4 and began a consensual sexual encounter after drinking wine. During their interaction, the affidavit says, Bond brought up the notion of the act they’d previously discussed in their text exchanges. Per the affidavit, the woman told Bond in that moment that she was not comfortable with trying it. According to the affidavit, Bond began engaging in that act anyway. The document says that the woman asked that Bond stop while physically pushing him away from her and telling him she was in pain, but that Bond continued the act while using his body weight against her and covering her mouth.

After their encounter, the affidavit says, Bond told the woman, “alcohol makes me do things” and asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The woman refused to sign the NDA and left the apartment, per the document.

After leaving, the affidavit says the woman texted Bond, saying, “Isaiah you were wrong for that I asked you to stop and you kept covering my mouth. I’m in a lot of pain.”

Bond responded, “You want a 1000 I’m really sorry!” and “Would that make it feel better,” the affidavit states.

According to the document, the woman was shocked that Bond offered her money, so she responded “What? 5k,” and then “1k? Like you asked me to sign then you offer me money? So you know what you did that’s why you covered my mouth.”

While meeting with officers at the Frisco Police Department on Feb. 20, the affidavit states the woman texted Bond again as part of a “pretextual interview,” and when the woman asked him for an apology, he responded with “I did…” The woman responded, saying, “apologizing by trying to pay me isn’t a real apology Isaiah you really hurt me and I kept telling you to stop,” to which Bond replied, “I’m sorry,” according to the affidavit.

From that point on, the affidavit states, the woman was unable to make contact with Bond.

Charges of sexual assault were then filed, and the former Longhorn turned himself in on April 10, then shortly thereafter posted bond and was released from jail.

In a post on X, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shared a statement he obtained from Bond that read, “Regarding the accusation made against me, I would appreciate the time and opportunity to defend myself and prove the claims made, patently false. I am in full cooperation with the authorities and will remain a willing and active participant in the investigation.” 

Bond transferred to Texas ahead of the 2024 season after two seasons with Alabama. After this past season ended, Bond declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.
