Aug 8, 2023

A minority owner of the Houston Texans is facing multiple sexual abuse charges in Kentucky, including first-degree rape, according to Pro Football Talk.

An arrest warrant was issued for E. Javier Loya, 54, on May 10, 2023, according to court documents obtained by PFT. His pretrial conference is set for Aug. 22, per PFT. Nothing else is known about the case. Loya also faces five counts of first-degree sexual assault and one count of third-degree sexual assault.

In statement to PFT, the Texans acknowledged the case against Loya and said he took a step back from the team and the league:

“We are aware of the serious charges filed in the Commonwealth of Kentucky against Javier Loya, one of our outside limited partners,” the team 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.”
