CHAPEL HILL
A UNC-Chapel Hill student said she was sexually assaulted in February by a UNC football player who has not been prosecuted or held accountable by the university, the UNC police or the court system.
The student, Delaney Robinson, a 19-year-old sophomore from Apex, held a news conference in Raleigh with her attorney and father Tuesday to discuss her case. Earlier in the day, she swore out a warrant in the Orange County magistrate’s office, charging the football player with misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor sexual assault. Her lawyer, Denise Branch, explained that the misdemeanor charges were the only option open to her now in order to get justice — despite campus police and university investigations that have resulted in no action against the player.
