Bodybuilder Shawn Rhoden, who won the 2018 Mr. Olympia, has a warrant out for his arrest on charges related to an alleged sexual assault. 

Per court documents obtained by Gretel Kauffman of KSL.com, Rhoden has been accused of raping a female bodybuilder in a Utah hotel room on Oct. 12, 2018. He's been charged with felony rape, felony object rape and felony forcible sexual abuse. 

Per TMZ Sports, Rhoden has not yet been arrested since the warrant was issued on Thursday.

Per the charging documents, the woman said Rhoden "forced himself on her and sexually assaulted her, despite her trying to push him away and telling him repeatedly to stop." 

She said Rhoden eventually let her go when she said an acquaintance who was waiting in the hotel lobby would "know something [was] up" if she wasn't there. 

Police said a DNA sample found on the woman's body matched with Rhoden, per Kauffman. 

Rhoden has competed in every Mr. Olympia since 2011. The Jamaican-born bodybuilder tied Chris Dickerson as the oldest winner in the event's history (43 years old) when he was won last year.
