A Salt Lake County woman has accused Brigham Young University quarterback Jake Retzlaff of sexually assaulting her.
The woman, identified in a 3rd District Court filing as Jane Doe A.G., alleges in the lawsuit that Retzlaff assaulted her in November 2023 at his home. She states he raped her and forced her to perform sexual acts against her will.
The incident occurred when she and her friends went to the quarterback’s Provo home to play video games.
According to Jane Doe A.G., when the two went to watch a movie alone, they began to kiss before she allegedly said she “did not want to do anything more.”
Things took a turn for the worse, according to her, as she claimed Retzlaff “began escalating the situation,” and groped her body.
Jane Doe A.G. said she attempted to pull away and tell Jake Retzlaff that she did not want to do anything sexual. She claimed she “wanted to leave, but was scared and felt like she could not get away.”
The unnamed woman stated he would then move her body to perform a sexual act, but that she “reacted in a way that made Retzlaff angry,” and that is when he allegedly began to shout at her. Jane Doe A.G. said she panicked and decided to lie down in bed with Retzlaff until her phone was charged.
Once Jane Doe A.G. said Retzlaff was “snoring,” she attempted to get up and leave, but Retzlaff allegedly “pushed her back down onto the bed, and started to forcefully kiss her.”
She then went into detail about other alleged assault acts, including a claim that Retzlaff put his hands around her neck so she couldn’t breathe. Around this time, Retzlaff raped her, causing “so much pain that [she] passed out.”

Once she finally woke up, she would leave his home. In the ensuing days, she went to a hospital where rape kit tests were performed and she had “pictures taken of the cut on her lip and the bruises around her neck and on her inner thighs.”
