HOUSTON — Houston Texans minority owner Javier Loya is facing
seven charges, including rape, in Kentucky. He's accused of
groping and sexually abusing multiple women during private
parties at his house on back-to-back days in 2022, according to
court records.

In addition to the rape charge, Loya, 53, is also charged with
six counts of sexual abuse. He was indicted on May 10 and
pleaded not guilty on May 15. He posted a $50,000 bond. A
pretrial conference is scheduled for Aug. 22.

According to court records, on May 15, 2022, Loya hosted a poker
party at his house in Jefferson County. Several of his friends
were there and he hired a woman from a local modeling agency to
work at the party, according to documents.

While the woman was working, Loya and his friends touched her
inappropriately and also said inappropriate things to her, court
records show. Loya is also accused of kissing her on the cheek
and putting his hands up her dress. Court records said the
victim "would pull away each time" but Loya "continued to touch
her inappropriately and without her consent."

The next day, on May 16, 2022, Loya threw another party at his
house in Jefferson County and hired more women from the same
modeling agency, court records said. Three women who came
forward, along with three to four other women, showed up to work
at the party, according to records.

Loya is accused of being intoxicated and immediately acting
improperly.

According to court documents, Loya sexually abused at least
three of the women who were hired to work at the party that day.

A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated
Press that Loya's stake in the team is less than 1%. The person
spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because ownership
stakes aren't publicly disclosed.

“The club promptly notified the league of the serious pending
charges against Mr. Loya after they were filed,” NFL spokesman
Brian McCarthy said. “Mr. Loya has not been permitted to
participate in any league or club activity during this process.
He is no longer on any league committees.”

Loya became the first Hispanic owner in NFL history when he
purchased a minority stake in the Texans in 2002. He is the
chairman and CEO of OTC Global Holdings.

The NFL investigated Loya for gambling in 2008.
