Parker Kingston faces refiled rape charge after initial dismissal

Parker Kingston, former BYU wide receiver, has had a felony rape charge refiled against him following an earlier dismissal. The charge pertains to an incident in February 2025, where it is alleged that Kingston raped a woman who had consented to other sexual acts but refused intercourse. The original case was dismissed in June 2026 due to the victim's unpreparedness to testify. Kingston's attorneys argue that the new evidence presented is biased. The next court appearance following this refiled charge has yet to be scheduled.
