Jury finds ex-Baylor football player not guilty of rape

A Central Texas jury on Thursday found a former Baylor University football player not guilty of raping another student in 2016, the latest case linked to a scandal that rocked the nation's largest Baptist university and led to the departure of several top leaders.

The McLennan County jury deliberated about two hours in Waco before acquitting Shawn Oakman of sexual assault.

The woman who says she was raped testified earlier that she'd been drinking and was intoxicated when Oakman assaulted her. She said she told Oakman that she wanted to leave his duplex that night but he wouldn't allow it.

Oakman's attorney told jurors that the two wanted to be together that night and that they had consensual sex.
