Quintez Cephus, Former UW Badger football player, was found not guilty on charges of second-and third-degree rape for supposed assaults on two 18-year women in 2018.
Cephus, 21, was suspended from the football team last August and was removed from the college recently for disregarding its non-scholastic unfortunate behavior code. It wasn't promptly clear how the decision would influence his status with the school and group.
He was accused of second-and third-degree rape for the supposed assault on the ladies, who were 18 years of age when they state Cephus explicitly ambushed them at his condo a year ago. They affirmed not long ago that they were too drunk to even think about consenting to sex.
Investigators kept on putting forth the defense in Dane County Court Friday that two ladies were casualties of rape, and had nothing to pick up by making up cases of assault.
Safeguard lawyers guaranteed the narratives were conflicting and that the unfortunate casualties agreed to sex with Cephus with words and activities for the duration of the night.
Cephus stood up Friday in his own guard, telling the jury that he had a "consensual trio" with the two ladies.
Shutting contentions were made Friday evening. The jury went into pondering at about 3:15 p.m., and the decision was prepared in around 45 minutes.
