Former Baylor DE Indicted On Sexual Assult

WACO, Texas (AP) — Former Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman has been indicted by a Texas grand jury on a charge of sexually assaulting a woman at his apartment earlier this year.

A McLennan County grand jury returned the indictment against the 24-year-old Oakman, who finished his college eligibility in December as the Bears’ career leader in quarterback sacks.

His attorney, Michelle Tuegel, said Oakman maintains his innocence in the case.

A woman told police that Oakman attacked her April 3 after they met at a Waco nightclub. According to a police affidavit, Oakman told investigating officers they had consensual sex.

The affidavit says the woman was “treated for her injuries” at a medical center, where a sexual assault examination was performed. Investigators searched Oakman’s apartment several hours later.
