A Georgia State University basketball player who was arrested on a rape charge earlier this month was set to be released from the Fulton County Jail on Friday night, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Tony Kimbro Jr.'s bond was set at $50,000 earlier in the day.
Kimbro is accused of sexually assaulting an acquaintance March 15. He was arrested May 3.
"His mind frame is all messed up," Kimbro's mother, Juanita Williams, told Channel 2 at the bond hearing. "I mean, he cannot believe this has happened to him."
The woman who says she was attacked was not in court Friday, and her attorney did not comment to Channel 2.
Kimbro was ordered by the Fulton County Superior Court judge not to contact his accuser. He also can't go on GSU's campus, and he must live at his mother's home in Kentucky, the report said.
GSU's code of conduct requires that any student who has been arrested and charged with a felony be placed on an interim suspension. Kimbro also has been suspended from the basketball team indefinitely.
Kimbro, a 6-foot-5 freshman, averaged 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game last year.
