COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A University of Maryland assistant women's basketball coach has been suspended after a player he coached at Xavier University accused him of groping her.
A Kenton County, Kentucky, prosecutor says Bryce McKey's attorney entered a not-guilty plea for him Friday on a charge of third-degree sexual abuse, a misdemeanor. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 8. McKey's attorney didn't immediately return a telephone message.
According to a sworn affidavit, the Xavier (of Cincinnati) player says McKey asked her to come to his home in Covington in May. She says during the evening, he repeatedly touched her inappropriately.
