A judge sentenced former Wyoming football player and Saints rookie Carl Granderson to six months in jail Thursday after rejecting the terms of his plea agreement on sexual assault charges.
The defensive end was accused of inappropriately touching two women while they slept at his apartment in 2018. Granderson reached a plea agreement with prosecutors, pleading no contest to lesser charges of sexual battery and unlawful contact. According to reports by the Casper Star-Tribune, the judge presiding over the case rejected the proposed plea deal—which included one year of unsupervised probation and a mental evaluation—and ordered Granderson to begin serving his sentence immediately in the Albany County Detention Center for the count of unlawful contact.
