Arterio Morris Has Rape Case Dropped; Kansas CBB Dismissed Player After Charges
Douglas County, Kansas, prosecutors have filed a motion to seek the dismissal of a felony rape case against ex-Kansas basketball player Arterio Morris without prejudice, citing insufficient evidence.
"We dismissed the case because we do not intend to proceed with it," Douglas County public information officer Cheryl Cadue said, per Shreyas Laddha and Bill Lukitsch of the Kansas City Star. The District Attorney's Office did not provide further comment.
The KC Star added that prosecutors could refile charges in the future with the case being dismissed without prejudice, as there is no statute of limitations on rape charges in the state of Kansas.
