    Ohio State football recruit Chris Carter was arrested Tuesday on a sexual imposition allegation after a complaint that he fondled a girl while pretending to measure her for an ROTC uniform.

    Police are investigating whether he might have fondled as many as eight girls. Carter's attorney refutes the charges and said his client is innocent.

    Carter, a 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive senior lineman at John F. Kennedy High School in Cleveland, was expected to sign with the Buckeyes on Wednesday, the first day recruits were able to sign Division I letters of intent to play football.

    A 15-year-old girl told Cleveland police on Tuesday that Carter came to one of her classes and asked her to go with him before telling her he needed to measure her for an ROTC uniform and taking her to a room behind the school's auditorium.

    "Once inside the room, [Carter] asked the victim to take off her sweatshirt and shirt so he could take her measurements," the police report said. "He cut off the lights ... and stated 'I need you to take your bra off.' The arrested male then put his arms under her arms from behind and attempted to pull her bra up."
