Former Baylor University football player Shawn Oakman was found not guilty of sexual assault by a McLennan County jury on Thursday, Tommy Witherspoon of the Waco Tribute-Herald reported.
Oakman, 26, was accused of sexually assaulting a Baylor student at his off-campus duplex in April 2016 and was indicted that June on second-degree felony sexual assault charges, which carry a sentence of two to 20 years in state prison.
The woman, a Baylor graduate student, told police that Oakman "forcibly removed" her clothes, forced her onto his bed and then sexually assaulted her, according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by ESPN.
