Former Husker football player Katerian LeGrone was found not guilty of first-degree sexual assault on Thursday.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the victim showed up at Hunt’s apartment on August 25. Soon, she said, they were in the bedroom where the woman says she felt forced into sexual contact by LeGrone and Hunt.
