Texans minority owner Javier Loya is facing multiple charges of sexual assault in Kentucky.

According to court documents, Loya faces one count of first-degree rape, five counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of third-degree sexual abuse. The incident occurred earlier in the year as he was indicted on May 10 in Jefferson County Circuit Court.

He pleaded not guilty on May 15 and posted a $50,000 bond. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for Aug. 22.

"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. "We have agreed with Mr. Loya that while these charges are pending, he will remove himself entirely from any team or League activities."
