CHAPEL HILL
A UNC-Chapel Hill football player accused in a sexual assault turned himself in Wednesday, and his lawyer made an initial court appearance on his behalf.
Allen Artis, 21, a UNC junior from Marietta, Ga., is charged with sexual battery and assault on a female. Both are misdemeanor charges brought a day earlier by Delaney Robinson, 19, a sophomore from Apex, who went public Tuesday with allegations that she was raped on Feb. 14 at a UNC on-campus apartment when she was intoxicated from alcohol.
Neither Artis nor his attorney, Sam Coleman, commented to reporters.
