Percy is already charged with sexual assault and voyeurism in relation to an incident that allegedly happened on Sept. 15.
In that case, he is accused of sexually assaulting a student at a campus dorm while he was employed by SMU. He appeared in court earlier this month and was released after two sureties agreed to offer $26,000 to secure his release.
