Michigan State freshman defensive end Auston Robertson was charged with third-degree sexual assault Friday morning.
Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon announced that Robertson, 19, was charged in the 55th District Court one day after her office received the results of an investigation by police from Meridian Township, near Michigan State's campus in East Lansing.
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio announced last week that a player connected with an April 9 assault investigation in Meridian Township was suspended from the team, but did not identify Robertson at the time. He is the fourth Michigan State football player suspended amid sexual assault allegations this year.
