Ex-assistant Xavier coach found not guilty of sex abuse

COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A former college women's basketball coach accused of groping a player has been found not guilty of misdemeanor charges of sexual abuse and unlawful transaction with a minor.

A Kenton County District Court judge found 29-year-old Bryce McKey not guilty in a bench trial Monday in Covington, Kentucky. The former Xavier University assistant coach pleaded not guilty last year. A Xavier player he coached said McKey asked her to come to his Covington home and repeatedly touched her inappropriately.

A message was left for her attorney.

Xavier said McKey wasn't employed there at the time of the alleged events.
