Former Syracuse defensive end Amir Ealey’s rape charges have been upgraded, the Onondaga County District Attorney’s office confirmed.

Ealey is now charged with one count of first-degree rape and two counts of third-degree rape. He was previously charged with two counts of third-degree rape. According to the Syracuse Police Department, the alleged incidents occurred in July of 2015 in Ernie Davis residence hall. New York state law considers first-degree rape as engaging in sexual intercourse with another person by ‘forcible compulsion,’ through physical force or a threat. It is punishable up to 25 years in prison.

Both victims were acquaintances of Ealey’s, per SPD.

Ealey, 19, played in seven games as a freshman in 2015.  He was dismissed from SU’s football team on Feb. 4 after being suspended indefinitely in November.
