Running back Morgan Ellison was suspended from campus for 2.5 years after an Indiana University panel determined that he sexually assaulted a fellow student, the Indianapolis Star reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, Ellison is accused of having sexually assaulted the student while she was asleep and continued to assault her after she woke up. Ellison denied using force during the hearing and said the alleged encounter was consensual. The Star reported that it is unclear if the police department has investigated the claims and that the sophomore running back has not been charged for the alleged assault.
