Prior allegations to be considered in ex-MSU football player's criminal trial

During a motion hearing on May 2, an Ingham County judge approved the admittance of past unlawful incidents as evidence in the trial of Auston Robertson.

The prosecution sought to have five incidents admitted as evidence in the ex-MSU football player's criminal trial. Two of the five incidents were admitted for consideration. Additionally, a portion of a third incident was admitted.

The decision to admit these took place Wednesday morning at Veterans Memorial Courthouse in Lansing. Robertson made an appearance in court via video conference from a Finney County, Kansas courtroom.

Robertson faces two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly raping a woman in April 2017.
