Wahpeton, North Dakota (trfnews.i234.me) – Raymond Ruschel, 51, who once made national headlines for joining the NDSCS football team at age 49, is now at the center of a disturbing criminal case.
Ruschel was booked into the Morrison County Jail in Minnesota on June 3, after a Richland County District Court judge issued a warrant on May 29 for Class A Felony Gross Sexual Imposition.
According to court documents, a woman alleges she passed out at Ruschel’s apartment after an evening of drinks on November 23, 2024, and awoke to him removing her clothes and initiating sex acts. The complaint says she faded in and out of consciousness and attempted to resist by pushing him off with her legs.
Ruschel denies the allegations, but is currently being held pending extradition or further legal proceedings.
