MISSOULA - Griz football quarterback Jordan Johnson was charged today in Missoula County Court for sexual intercourse without consent, according to a county attorney press release.

A University of Montana student reported to police that on Feb. 4, Johnson came over to her house to watch a movie.

The woman told police Johnson turned "from playful to aggressive," and raped her, according to the charging documents.

Johnson's first court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 14.
