Logan • A Utah judge has ruled that a trial will be held in Box Elder County for a former Utah State University football star accused of sexually assaulting seven women.
Citing a concern about the “interrelationship” of USU and the Logan community, 1st District Judge Brian Cannell granted Torrey Green’s request that his upcoming trial be held somewhere other than Cache County.
“The court is concerned about the thumbprint of Utah State University,” the judge said in announcing his Thursday ruling.
Green is charged with 12 felonies in connection with the testimony of seven women who say the athlete sexually assaulted them between 2013 and 2015 when he was a student in Logan.
