Luke is facing a charge of sexual assault of a child, according to arrest papers filed by the Austin Police Department.
He is accused of attacking the girl following a party in the Texas capital in June 2018 when she was 16 and he was 18.
The alleged victim reported the assault in November last year, according to an affidavit seen by KXAN.
She told investigators she asked Luke to pick her up from the bash because she had been drinking.
He took her back to his dad’s $7.5million mansion in the Old Enfield district of Austin, the unnamed victim claims.
She said she did not remember the drive in his truck, and woke to find him sexually assaulting her on a couch, the affidavit states.
