Jury finds ex-Husker LeGrone not guilty of sex assault

A Lancaster County District Court jury has found former Husker football player Katerian LeGrone not guilty of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old University of Nebraska-Lincoln student in 2019.

LeGrone, 21, put his hands to his face after the verdict was read, seemingly relieved.

Prosecutors alleged on the night of Aug. 25, 2019, LeGrone snuck into Andre Hunt's bedroom at the apartment they shared, got into position behind the 19-year-old woman and switched off places with his roommate before she knew what happened.
