Two Ex-Huskers Charged With Sexual Assault

Former Husker football players Andre Hunt and Katerian LeGrone have been charged with first degree sexual assault in Lancaster County. Both were arrested on December 10 and are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning.

According to court documents the victim showed up to Hunt’s apartment. Soon, they were in the bedroom where the woman says she felt forced into sexual contact.

She says she didn't say no because she felt uncomfortable and was fearful of what would happen. According to the documents she had a blanket in front of her face, but LeGrone came in and they both had sex with her.

LeGrone's attorney said the probable cause affidavit sounds bad, but that doesn't mean it's true. "We have seen these types of cases before where the probable cause affidavit appears strong, but it's just a prosecution document," John Berry told 6 News. "At the end of the day, this is law enforcement's narrative."

Mallory Hughes, who is also representing LeGrone in this case, said the probable cause affidavit leaves things out.

"The probable cause affidavit discusses communication between the accuser and Mr. Hunt, and what I did not see is the contents of those communications and what would lead a 19 year old girl to go to the house of a stranger and what her plans were once she got there," Hughes told 6 News.

Both men were suspended in late August and dismissed from the team last month. Both are out on bond.
