Two Ex-Nebraska Football Players Face Sexual Assault Allegations

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two former University of Nebraska football players have been arrested after a reported off-campus sexual assault in Lincoln.

Lincoln police said Katerian LeGrone, 19, and Andre Hunt, 20, were arrested at their residence Tuesday and taken to the Lancaster County Jail.

LeGrone was arrested on suspicion of first-degree sexual assault, and Hunt was charged with aiding and abetting first-degree sexual assault. The charges stem from a reported assault on Aug. 25.

A Title IX investigation prompted university officials to suspend both men for 2 1/2 years for violating the university’s sexual misconduct policy.
