UCLA senior wide receiver Delon Hurt has been suspended from the team pending the outcome of a sexual battery case in which he faces two felony charges stemming from an alleged November 2019 incident in Downey.
After the Los Angeles district attorney’s office filed charges of oral copulation and sexual battery last May, Hurt surrendered to authorities and entered a not guilty plea. A preliminary hearing is set for Thursday at the Norwalk Courthouse.
“We take such allegations very seriously,” UCLA spokesman Scott Markley said Tuesday in a statement. “As such, Delon has been suspended from the team pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
