MASON - Former MSU football player Auston Robertson will face trial on two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
The decision was made by 55th District Court Judge Thomas Boyd after a preliminary hearing held Thursday. Robertson had been originally charged with a single count but prosecutors added a second count during the hearing based on the victim's testimony.
Robertson, 19, is accused of of sexually assaulting a female MSU student on April 9 in her apartment in Meridian Township, near East Lansing. Third-degree criminal sexual conduct carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
