Former Baylor football player charged with sexual assault

AUSTIN, TEXAS | BY JON HERSKOVITZ

A former Baylor University football player was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday for sexually assaulting a fellow student at the school, which has been embroiled in accusations of trying to sweep sexual assaults by its athletes under the rug.

Shawn Oakman, an All-American defensive end, is free on bond. He denies the charge and maintains his innocence, his lawyer said.

Oakman graduated in December from Baylor, the world's largest Baptist university. He was arrested a few weeks before the National Football League draft this year and was not selected by any team.

"Shawn Oakman maintains his innocence in regard to the recent accusations and indictment made against him, and he insists that the sexual relationship in this case was consensual," attorney Michelle Tuegel said in a telephone interview.

1. ". . . trying to sweep sexual assaults by its athletes under the rug."

Hmmmmmm . . . Sounds familiar for some reason. I wonder why.

Ken Star, truly one of the biggest hypocrites I've ever heard of.
