Former Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle is facing 11 charges, including rape, aggravated criminal sodomy, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery, per Amy Renee Leiker of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

A woman has accused Randle of punching her and forcing her to have sex with him for three hours back before she was able to escape to a neighbor's and call for help back on Sept. 6.

Randle appeared in court for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, but the judge postponed it until Feb. 25 due to an outburst by Randle in the courtroom.

He is expected to plead not guilty, and in court, he denied ever sexually assaulting the woman, saying that “she never said no.”

This is far from Randle's first run-in with the law.

He was arrested once in 2014, twice in 2015, twice in 2016 and two more times in 2017. The 27-year-old has spent a good portion of the last three years in jail.

Randle, who played his collegiate football at Oklahoma State University, was originally selected by the Cowboys in the fifth round (151st pick overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

He played in 13 games during his rookie campaign, rushing for 164 yards and a couple of touchdowns. The following year, Randle appeared in all 16 contests, totaling 343 yards and three scores on the ground, averaging 6.7 yards per carry. He then last appeared in the NFL in 2015, registering 315 yards and four touchdowns in six games. Randle was actually the starter for Dallas that season, but he then strained his oblique and was eventually suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
