Allegations ‘false’

An attorney representing one of the two Texas football players suspended before the Alamo Bowl says a sexual assault allegation against his client is “completely false.” Perry Minton said in a written statement that linebacker Jordan Hicks “vehemently asserts” the conduct under investigation by San Antonio police was “consensual by everyone involved.” Minton noted Hicks gave a statement to police and underwent a physical examination when requested to do so. “These are the actions of an honest citizen eager to cooperate with law enforcement … to clear his name and that of his friend (backup QB Case McCoy).” - AP
