UPDATE: Air Force Academy cadet accused of sexual assault in Boulder

An arrest affidavit is revealing new information about the case against an Air Force Academy cadet who is accused of kidnapping and sexual assault in Boulder.

Daniel Ryerson, 21, was arrested Friday. The incident that led to the arrest happened on November 1, 2014.

Ryerson is a junior at the Academy. He posted bail over the weekend.

The arrest papers say DNA links Ryerson to the crime. They say his accuser is another cadet.

The papers say the alleged victim considered Ryerson a friend, and that she drank alcohol with him while the pair looked for house parties in Boulder.

The affidavit says the woman thought she was drugged and raped, so she had Ryerson take her to the hospital.

The Academy says it is cooperating with law enforcement in Boulder with regard to this investigation.
