The university of south dakota football player accused of attempted rape is facing a new charge

The University of South Dakota football player accused of attempted rape in an alleged attack in October is now facing a new charge.

Clay County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Tiffany Husby says 21-year-old Dale Williamson turned himself in Thursday after officials issued an arrest warrant for second-degree rape.

The State's Attorney's Office did not return a phone message seeking more information.

Husby says the charge is separate from felony second-degree attempted rape charge Williamson faces in allegedly Oct. 22 attack.

Police say a woman accused Williamson and 20-year-old Danny Rambo, another football player, of entering a bedroom where she was having consensual sex with another player and assaulting her at the off-campus residence the three players shared.

Williamson is a sophomore reserve defensive back from Donalsonville, Georgia.
