Shawn Oakman Found Not Guilty on Sexual Assault Charges from 2016

A Texas jury found former Baylor Bears defensive lineman Shawn Oakman not guilty of sexually assaulting a female student in 2016, according to TMZ Sports.

Police arrested Oakman in April 2016 after a woman alleged he sexually assaulted her after they left a nightclub in Waco, Texas.

"The woman who says she was raped testified earlier that she'd been drinking and was intoxicated when Oakman assaulted her," per ESPN.com. "She said she told Oakman that she wanted to leave his duplex that night but he wouldn't allow it."

Oakman's lawyer argued in court he and the woman had engaged in consensual sex.
