The woman who told police she was the ex-girlfriend of Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young has recanted statements that led to his arrest for misdemeanor assault and battery on Oct. 8.

Young was suspended by Georgia coach Kirby Smart following his arrest by Athens-Clarke County police following the altercation with the 20-year-old woman.

Young’s attorney, Kim Stephens, on Thursday released a sworn statement to The Associated Press provided by the woman that said she wanted to “make clear my desire to have all charges against Colbie Young dismissed.”

The woman said in the affidavit that she first notified the Athens-Clarke County Prosecutor’s Office on Oct. 14 that she wanted the charges dismissed and repeated that request “on multiple occasions.” Stephens said the woman made the request public because the charges have not been dropped.

According to a post-arrest police report, the woman, who is pregnant, told police she went to Young’s apartment “to talk about their relationship.” She said the argument became heated “after discovering he was on the phone with another woman.”

According to the police report, the woman told police she believed Young “was trying to hurt her.” The arresting officer said Young denied being responsible for the bruising, discoloration and redness the officer found on the woman and denied grabbing her.

In the affidavit, the woman said, “I expressly retract any statement attributed to me that implies or indicates that Colbie Young attempted to cause any harm to my unborn child or me.”

The woman also said in the affidavit: “Colbie did not put his hands on me in any way during the conversation and discussion that was inappropriate or unwanted. He didn’t hit me. He didn’t push me. It didn’t cause any bruising or marks. It didn’t hurt me in any way. “To be clear, Colbie Young did not commit any acts of violence toward me or my unborn child, including, but not limited to, simple assault, assault, or battery on an unborn child.”

No. 2 Georgia plays No. 16 Mississippi on Saturday. With charges still pending, there is no change to Young’s status with the team.

Stephens said in a statement that he provided the woman’s affidavit to the prosecutor and the University of Georgia. Stephens said the charges against Young “should be dismissed immediately” and his suspension from the team should be lifted.

Young, a senior from Binghamton, New York, transferred to Georgia after two seasons at Miami. He has 11 receptions for 149 yards and two touchdowns in five games, including two starts.
