Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman won’t pursue criminal charges against five N.C. State University students in connection to sexual assault allegations filed by three women after a party at an apartment on campus in July.
“Our office has undertaken a detailed review of the information provided from the investigation conducted by North Carolina State University police. The evidence does not support moving forward with a criminal prosecution,” Freeman said Friday afternoon.
The five students were all freshmen members of the Wolfpack football team.
Players Antoine Thompson and Kevince Brown were dismissed from the team, while Isaiah Moore, Erin Collins and Xavier Lyas were suspended from competition while the school investigation and criminal probe continued.
