Texas A&M WR Kirk Merritt says ‘bad case of jock itch’ led to 2 charges of indecent exposure

Texas A&M sophomore wide receiver Kirk Merritt is facing two charges of indecent exposure. He reportedly exposed himself to two athletic tutors last fall and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

His attorney, Rick Davis, told the Houston Chronicle, that jock itch was the cause of both incidents.

“While Kirk is very embarrassed about this situation, and has apologized to the two tutors that he offended, he did not intend to gratify anyone by exposing himself. The fact is that Kirk had a bad case of jock itch,” Davis said in a statement to the newspaper.
