Houston Texans minority owner Javier Loya is facing multiple criminal charges in the state of Kentucky, including rape and sexual abuse, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. Loya, a successful businessman who is the CEO of OTC Global Holdings, LP., has been with the Texans since 2002 but has now removed himself from all league and team activities as these charges are ongoing.

The Texans are aware of the situation and released a statement:

“We are aware of the serious charges filed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky against Javier Loya, one of our outside limited partners,” the Texans said in a statement issued to PFT. “We have agreed with Mr. Loya that while these charges are pending, he will remove himself entirely from any team or League activities.”

The Texans are in the middle of training camp and have been a big topic, especially with rookie quarterback CJ Stroud impressing people early on. This isn't a good look at all for the organization, and Loya faces one count of first-degree rape, five counts of first-degree sexual abuse, and one count of third-degree sexual abuse and was even issued an arrest warrant back in May.

ClutchPoints obtained a statement from Andrew J. Sarne Kane of Russell Coleman Logan PC, Loya's legal counsel, responding to the allegations:

“Mr. Loya is innocent and has pled not guilty to all charges. He unequivocally and categorically denies these allegations and will vigorously defend his innocence. Mr. Loya has voluntarily taken and 100% passed a polygraph test which confirms his innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court.”
