Jags' Marcell Dareus No Longer Facing 2017 Civil Suit for Alleged Sexual Assault

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Marcell Dareus no longer faces a civil suit for an alleged sexual assault after a judge dismissed the case, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco.

A woman identified as Jane Doe filed a civil suit against Dareus on Dec. 12, 2017, and said the NFL player assaulted her at a Lutz, Florida, apartment in January 2017 and gave her a sexually transmitted disease.

DiRocco shared details of the complaint:

"The woman said a man gave her a drink that tasted strange and, after taking a sip, she asked for another, which she said did not taste strange.
