A former Baylor football player was arrested and charged with sexual assault stemming from allegations in 2013 claiming he gang-raped a woman with his teammate.

A Texas grand jury indicted ex-tight end Tre'von Armstead on three second-degree felony sexual assault counts after he was arrested on Wednesday near his hometown of Port Arthur, Dallas News reported.

The 22-year-old was taken into custody in Beaumont where bail was set at $150,000.

The indictment alleges Armstead forced a woman to perform sex acts in mid-April 2013.

He and former Baylor running back Shamycheal Chatman were named in a police report as well as a lawsuit stating the two were allegedly involved in raping a woman at a party. Chatman has not been arrested.

Armstead's arrest comes after the alleged victim, identified only as Elizabeth Doe, filed a Title IX lawsuit in January alleging she was raped by the two men and claimed that at least 31 members of the football team were involved in 52 acts of rape over a period from 2011 to 2014.

The university came under fire after the lawsuit claimed the Bears' former assistant coach Kendall Briles allegedly sold the football program on sex.

Briles allegedly told a high school recruit: 'Do you like white women? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they LOVE football players.'

The football program operated under a 'show'em a good time' policy, and the recruits were also taken to strip clubs and offered alcohol and drugs, according to the court documents.

The McLennan County grand jury handed down the indictment last week but it remained sealed until Wednesday.

The charges come nearly four years after the initial accusations as a result of 'newly discovered' evidence, McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna said.

Doe claimed she was raped by the two athletes while she was intoxicated after returning home with them after a party. Her roommate's boyfriend said he heard sounds of a struggle coming from the woman's room that night.

When the door opened, the witness saw Doe partially unclothed on the floor, said 'she is not fine', and told Armstead and Chatman he was calling 911, the lawsuit states.

According to the lawsuit, campus officials didn't investigate her case until 2015. One of the players involved was suspended from the team and later expelled. The other had transferred.

Ten women have sued Baylor, alleging the university was indifferent to their sexually assault complaints while students.

Last week, Armstead was arrested in Las Vegas and charged with domestic battery, resisting arrest and damaging a police vehicle after a disturbance between Armstead and a woman.
