Ex-Baylor Football Star Shawn Oakman Indicted For Sexual Assault In Texas

Ex-Baylor football star Shawn Oakman was expected to go into the NFL until news of an alleged sexual assault turned the former baller into a potential convict. According to ESPN reports:

Former Baylor All-America defensive end Shawn Oakman, the school’s all-time sack leader, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault in Waco, Texas, on Wednesday.

Police in Waco arrested Oakman in April after a Baylor graduate student accused him of sexually assaulting her at his apartment on April 3. He was freed on $25,000 bond after his arrest.

The McLennan County District Attorney’s office presented the case to a grand jury on Wednesday morning.

Under Texas law, second-degree felony sexual assault typically carries a sentence of two to 20 years in state prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Oakman, who was once considered a potential second- or third-round pick in this year’s NFL draft, went undrafted after his arrest.

“I think an indictment is just a prosecutor’s rubber stamp and requires a much lower burden of proof than one required for a conviction, which is beyond a reasonable doubt,” said Michelle Tuegel, Oakman’s attorney. “We still have a lot of investigation and work to do in this case. Shawn maintains that the sex in this case was consensual.”
