Day two of former Kent State football player Nate Holley’s trial took place Tuesday in the Portage County Municipal Courthouse. Holley took the stand, along with the alleged victim, Ceara Tackett during the series of day-long testimonies.

Assistant Portage County Prosecutor Eric Finnegan called Tackett to the stand to ask about her relationship with Holley.

Tackett said she met Holley during sophomore year at Kent State. She and Holley had a year-long friendship before dating, she said. The two reportedly dated for three or four months before Holley broke up with her, but still continued to talk.
