A former standout football player at Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Lithonia and at Indiana University is facing rape and assault charges in Bloomington, Ind.

According to BPD, officers responded to an apartment in the 700 block of S. College Mall Rd. on Monday around 9:00 p.m. in reference to an assault.

Police found a 24 year-old woman with multiple injuries to her head and face who was taken to IU Health Bloomington Hospital.

The woman was found to have multiple injuries including a fractured eye socket and a brain bleed while in the emergency room. Police said she was then transferred to IU Health Methodist Hospital via LifeLine ambulance due to the serious injuries.

The victim told BPD investigators that a man identified as Wesley A. Green, 25, had sexually assaulted her.

Investigators were able to determine that Green and the victim had been arguing throughout the day before the alleged assault.

According to the victim, Green also struck her face and head several times and left the apartment just before police arrived.

BPD said Green then tried to call the victim Tuesday morning.

Green fled from officers when he was found in the 2500 block of E 3rd St. and a foot pursuit began.

An officer was injured during the chase before Green was apprehended, according to BPD.

Green was taken to the Monroe County Jail and faces felony charges including rape, aggravated and domestic battery, and resisting law enforcement.

Green was a member of the Indiana University football team several years ago. He was dismissed from the team in March 2017. Green had been suspended indefinitely earlier that month; Allen did not give a reason for the suspension or dismissal. 

Prior to Indiana, Green transferred from South Carolina. Green was a four-star prospect out of Lithonia, Ga., ranking as the #120 in the ESPN 300, making him one of the talented players in the nation and the 13th best cornerback when he signed with the Gamecocks in 2014. He redshirted that fall season. 

At Indiana, he only appeared in two games.
