Boston College football player facing criminal charges for recording sex act

CHESTNUT HILL (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A Boston College football player is facing criminal charges after he allegedly used his cell phone to audiotape a consensual sexual encounter between a fellow football player and female graduate student.

Jaryd Rudolph, 19, of Plympton, was charged Wednesday with allegedly violating the state’s wiretap statute for a Feb. 15 incident in which he recorded an encounter between his roommate and a female student through a closed door.

Rudolph then shared the audio recording with other BC students, including other members of the football team.

The female was unaware the recording existed until a few days after the incident when members of the team played the audio recordings for her while she was working at a local bar.

The female went to campus police who then questioned the student with whom she had the encounter. He told police that his roommate, Rudolph, had made the recordings without his knowledge.

Boston College said in a statement that Rudolph "was issued a summary suspension at the time of the allegation and remains on University probation. He was also suspended from the football team, and must undergo educational training and counseling."

Rudolph was released on his own recognizance and is expected to plead not guilty. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 17.

If Rudolph is found guilty, he faces up to two and a half years in jail.
