SourcePolice served an emergency protective order against an Oklahoma State University basketball player after another OSU student accused him of rape, according to the student’s sworn statement.
Matt Pilgrim, 22, was served the order Monday afternoon after another Oklahoma State student told police that Pilgrim raped her in her Smith Hall apartment in the North Monroe area on April 12.
The Daily O’Collegian’s policy is not to print the name of alleged victims or rape victims in coverage of sexual assault.
OSU Director Of Communications Gary Shutt confirmed that OSU police are investigating the situation. Shutt declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation.
According to the order, which the Daily O’Collegian obtained from the Payne County Courthouse, the woman stated Pilgrim raped her April 12 in her OSU apartment. Their next contact was May 2, outside of her Smith apartment, where she said Pilgrim harassed her.
Both parties are set to appear at 10 a.m. May 20, at the Payne County Courthouse for a hearing.
OSU Sports Information Director Mike Noteware declined to comment.
Pilgrim averaged 8.2 points per game and 6.7 rebounds for the Cowboys in his first year after transferring from the University of Kentucky.
