Paradise Valley, Ariz. ? Kansas State quarterback Ell Roberson was accused Thursday of sexually assaulting a woman at the team hotel, leaving his start tonight in the Fiesta Bowl in question.

Roberson told police he had consensual sex with the 22-year-old woman, who is a Kansas State alumna and acquaintance of the quarterback, Paradise Valley police Lt. Ron Warner said.

Neither the woman nor Roberson were staying in the room where they had sex at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort, Warner said.

Athletic director Tim Weiser said it would be up to coach Bill Snyder whether Roberson plays tonight against Ohio State.

“We are dealing with partial information,” Weiser said. “To identify an individual, we think, is unfair. But we respect the legal system and the decision they made.”

The woman told police she was assaulted between 3-3:30 a.m. The investigation began when the hotel’s security office called police at 4:30 a.m. The players had an 11 p.m. curfew Wednesday.

Medical tests were conducted but results were not expected until next week, Warner said.

A report will be submitted to the Maricopa County attorney’s office to determine if there is sufficient evidence to file charges, Warner said.

Roberson was not with Kansas State players at a pep rally Thursday afternoon.

The senior from Baytown, Texas, needs 57 yards rushing to become the third player in NCAA Division I history to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 2,000 in a season.
