By Saturday morning, the 24-year-old, first-year Tech coach was in the Fulton County jail charged with rape, and possession of cocaine and marijuana according to the Atlanta Police Department.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday night that Pollock originally met the 23-year-old alleged victim outside a Buckhead bar. The incident reportedly occurred at the Tech coach’s nearby apartment.
On Monday, Georgia Tech released a statement:
"We are aware of the charges involving assistant men’s tennis coach Conor Pollock. He has been placed on administrative leave with pay, effective immediately, pending the outcome of the external investigation. We will address his continued employment at Georgia Tech when the necessary additional information becomes available. We will have no further comment while the active investigation is in progress.”
According to the Tech website, Pollock, a former three-time All-American tennis player at Texas A&M, spent last year in private coaching before joining the Yellow Jacket staff last August.
