Coastal Carolina cornerback Ray Lewis III, the son of former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, was arrested Friday for sexually assaulting two women, according to police records obtained by Ian Cross of WMBF News.

Police allege the 20-year-old Lewis took advantage of an 18-year-old woman who was incapacitated or helpless due to the use of drugs or alcohol.

Lewis turned himself in to police and was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct. Through a lawyer, Lewis said he's innocent of the allegations.

"Ray Lewis III is innocent of all charged and we expect him to be fully vindicated at the end of this matter," his attorney, Case Brittain said.

Lewis was once a member of the Miami football program as he looked to follow in his father's footsteps. However, a lack of playing time prompted the younger Lewis to transfer to Coastal Carolina in 2015.
