Parker Kingston, star wide receiver of the Brigham Young University Cougars football team was arrested on February 12 after a year-long probe into allegations of rape against the 22-year-old. On Saturday (February 14), Kingston announced that he is no longer a part of the school and the football team.
Kingston is currently out on a $100,000 bond with a $10,000 bail with a host of other conditions imposed on his release as the trial continues in Washington County in Utah. However, his arrest and subsequent departure from the BYU Cougars have sparked interest in his personal life.
Notably, just four days before his arrest, Kingston reportedly announced that he is engaged to his girlfriend and now-fiancé, Lily Lee. A lot of attention has turned to Lily Lee amid Kingston’s arrest.
Who is Lily Lee?
Parker Kingston or Lily Lee did not officially announce their engagement. Photos of their engagement reportedly surfaced on the social media accounts of Lee’s friends. A video of Kingston proposing to Lee and her agreeing to it was also shared on social media. The posts have now been removed.
The details of Lily Lee’s relationship with Parker Kingston are unclear. It is not known how they met or when they started dating. College Football Network reported that Kingston acknowledged the engagement publicly at a BYU men’s basketball game where he was pointing to his supposed engagement ring. It is also unclear if the reported engagement was canceled amid his arrest.
