Xavier "Juice" Jermaine Harris, 22, originally from North Beach, Maryland, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a home in the first block of Morningstar Lane, Shippensburg Township, over a 38-minute period of time starting at midnight on Aug. 17 to 18, 2021, according to the release.
The wide receiver transferred to the school from Bowie State University in the fall of 2020, as shown in his team profile on the school’s football team's website. He appears to have been repeating his sophomore year at the time of the incident— just like he repeated his freshman year at his last university. He was majoring in management. It is unclear when he ended his enrollment at the university.
Harris "is not a current student at Shippensburg University nor is he a current member of the football team," according to an emailed statement to Daily Voice from Shippensburg University Media Relations Megan Silverstrim. Additional information on his enrollment history was not immediately available on Friday morning.
Harris has been charged with four felonies: rape forcible compulsion, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault without consent, and aggravated indecent assault forcible compulsion, in addition to a misdemeanor for unlawful restraint or serious bodily injury, according to both police and court documents.
He was arrested and arraigned on Thursday, Apr. 20, court records show. He has been held in lieu of $25,000, but his location was not included in court or police documents. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled before Magisterial District Judge H. Anthony Adams at 2 p.m. on May 11, according to his court docket.
