Former Scottsdale personal trainer and one-time Arizona State walk-on Tevin Terrell Favor is set to stand before a Maricopa County judge on Friday, July 24, 2026, for sentencing after a jury convicted him last month on multiple sexual assault counts. The verdict ties together alleged attacks that prosecutors say stretch across more than a decade, with charges linked to incidents in 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2024.
Court records show Favor was convicted on May 28 on four counts, and prosecutors say the most recent alleged attack happened on April 21, 2024, after a house party where the victim, described in police reports as 20 years old, was reportedly given alcohol and later woke to find Favor on top of her. The victim underwent a rape exam that documented several minor injuries, according to court documents and reporting by AZ Family.
Paradise Valley police say they arrested and booked Favor on June 5, 2024, charging him with sexual assault and unlawful imprisonment, and the department released a public statement about the arrest. Local coverage reports that investigators flagged behavior they described as suspicious in the days after the party, including Favor deleting social media and sending a message to clients that his gym was closing, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.
Favor has faced similar allegations in the past. He was arrested in 2018 on a Scottsdale rape accusation but was found not guilty by a jury in 2020, local reporting shows. The earlier arrest and subsequent acquittal were noted in coverage at the time, including reporting by KGUN9.
What he faces at sentencing
Arizona law classifies sexual assault as a Class 2 felony with strict mandatory prison terms. The statute sets a first-offense presumptive term of seven years in prison, with a minimum of 5.25 years and a maximum of 14, and provides higher ranges for defendants with prior felony convictions. It also allows enhanced penalties when the assault involved certain drugs or caused serious physical injury, and it requires sexual assault sentences to run consecutive to any other sexual assault sentence, according to the Arizona Revised Statutes.
Registration and community notification
A conviction for a qualifying sex offense typically triggers sex offender registration and possible community notification obligations managed by local law enforcement and the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The DPS outlines registration procedures, deadlines, and penalties for noncompliance, and it oversees the public information and risk-level process for registered offenders. Failure to register can itself be a felony. See the Arizona Department of Public Safety's guidance on compliance and notification at AZDPS.
Hoodline file
Hoodline previously reported on Favor's June 2024 arrest; this update adds the May conviction and the sentencing set for July 24. For background on the original arrest and charges, see our earlier coverage: Former ASU Football Player Charged.
Sentencing is scheduled Friday in Maricopa County Superior Court and could include years in prison and registration requirements if the judge imposes prison time consistent with state law. Court filings and the judge's statement at sentencing will determine the exact outcome, and local reporting indicates the case remains of interest to community advocates and legal observers.
