Florida basketball star Keyontae Johnson asserted sex was consensual with accuser in heated call with UF football player

Johnson acknowledged during that conversation his accuser was ‘drunk’ and ‘wildin.’

New details are emerging in the sexual assault investigation of Keyontae Johnson, the University of Florida basketball star formally accused in a police report over an incident with a drunken young woman at a pool party last month.

Johnson, 22, of Norfolk, Virginia, said in a heated phone call with a Gators football player who is romantically involved with the accuser that the woman had initiated consensual sex with Johnson a night earlier, according to a person familiar with the conversation.

The phone call occurred on Feb. 27, after the football player discovered the pair had sex in Johnson’s apartment bedroom during the party. The football player did not attend but arrived later to take her home from the party. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because this person feared harassment from the university and athletic community that could affect social, academic or employment opportunities.
