ESPN is reporting that a walk-on Michigan State basketball player has been the subject of a criminal sexual assault conduct investigation:
Ingham County, Michigan, prosecutors are in the process of determining whether formal charges should be filed against the player, freshman guard Brock Washington. Washington, a walk-on from Southfield, Michigan, is named as the lone suspect in an alleged assault that Michigan State campus police have classified as fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, the sources told Outside the Lines.
In August, a female student reported to campus police that Washington forcibly groped her without her permission, the sources told Outside the Lines. After an investigation, police on Dec. 13 forwarded their findings to the county prosecutor’s office.
Former MSU AD Mark Hollis called out ESPN in an email to the community before this report on Washington was released:
Mark Hollis sent an email to MSU Athletic Dept staff in which he reiterated his commitment to "cooperate & be transparent w/ all investigations." He also said: "I can state w/ certainty that there were inaccurate, incomplete & misleading statements made & then reported by ESPN." pic.twitter.com/GWdXQeBTOe
