News broke on Monday afternoon that sexual assault charges against former Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves were dismissed.
The 39-year-old former Spartan led Michigan State to a national title in 2000, but this is easily the darkest moment of his lifetime. Refraining from giving any opinion on the matter, we will present just the facts from the trial and outcome.
According to Gina Damron of the Detroit Free Press, Judge Cathy Dowd found no probable cause to bind the case over for trial.
Cleaves, 39, of Grand Blanc, had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Flint-area motel in 2015.
