Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox has been charged with sexual assault by the Lone Tree, Colo., police.

Cox, who has started eight games for the Broncos this season, was arrested and charged after what a police department news release called “a lengthy and detailed investigation.” Police said the incident occurred on Oct. 28. Cox was arrested yesterday and is in the Douglas County Jail.

“We are aware of the reports and are currently in the process of gathering information and reviewing the facts,” Broncos media relations director Patrick Smyth said, according to the Denver Post. “We are taking this matter very seriously and are fully cooperating with every aspect of the process.”

Details of the case have been sealed, the city news release said. Lone Tree is located 20 miles south of Denver.
