USC linebacker Osa Masina was suspended indefinitely by the program on Saturday for a violation of team rules and will miss this week’s season opener against Alabama as he is investigated for two separate accusations of sexual assault by the same woman.
TMZ Sports obtained the search warrant connected to the case and provides details on the allegations the sophomore linebacker faces. The first incident allegedly took place in Los Angeles at the home of Masina’s USC teammate Don Hill on July 14.
TMZ Sports says the woman told police Masina gave her some Xanax pills throughout the day. She also says she was drinking during the day, including wine by the pool and rum, which she chugged at a frat party.
Here are the more specific details via TMZ:
After the frat party, the woman claims she was taken to Hill’s apartment — but insists she was “out of it” due to the Xanax and the booze. However, she remembers smoking weed.
“The next thing the victim recalls is having sex with Osa Chad Masina,” the search warrant says.
The woman claims she remembers Masina “holding her head and putting her mouth on his penis” while Hill had vaginal sex with her.
The woman also learned that Masina allegedly recorded them having sex without her permission and sent the images to the woman’s ex-boyfriend, a football player at Arizona, via Snapchat.
The woman also accuses Masina of raping her on July 26 in Utah, which is where Masina is from. She claims that after a day of drinking and marijuana use with Masina, she passed out and awakened “to see him on top of her, engaging in anal sex with her. She also says he forced oral sex.”
The woman woke up in pain the next day and went to the police where she was examined for signs of potential sexual assault.
Masina made 25 tackles as a freshman last season.
“USC is aware of the investigation involving student-athlete Osa Masina,” the school said in a statement Tuesday. “USC is cooperating fully with authorities in Utah, the lead agency in the investigation. Due to privacy laws and to protect the rights of our students, we are not able to discuss this matter further.”
Masina did practice with the team on Tuesday though he will not play in Saturday’s game.
