When charges were announced in September 2018, a police affidavit revealed Ravenel was accused of taking off his clothes and making sexual advances toward the woman, including grabbing her genitals and forcing his in her face, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit also said Ravenel attempted to remove the victim's clothing during the attack and the clothing became wrapped around her neck, cutting her skin and causing her to struggle to breathe.

After the victim was able to get away from Ravenel, the affidavit said she called family members about the incident and photos were immediately taken of her injuries.
