Michigan State clears ex-players in rape case
EAST LANSING (AP) — Three former Michigan State University men’s basketball players have been cleared of wrongdoing in connection with allegations that they sexually assaulted a female student in 2015, according to the school.
A report from a school-launched Title IX investigation did not find violations of university policy, spokeswoman Emily Guerrant told the Lansing State Journal for a story Saturday.
ESPN, which first reported on the findings, said it obtained a copy of the 39-page report. School investigators questioned the accuser’s credibility because she possibly misidentified one of the players she said took part in the alleged assault, ESPN reported.
