Former university football star acquitted of rape charges in under two hours

Article here. Excerpt:

'Shawn Oakman, a former football star at Baylor University who was once considered a top NFL pick, was found not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman with whom he had a previous sexual relationship.

Oakman had been accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in 2016 when she was allegedly too drunk to consent. The woman, who doesn’t get named because she claims to be the victim of sexual assault, said she was drinking before going to Cricket’s, a bar in downtown Waco, TX. She said she and friends then went to Scruffy Murphy’s, a bar near Baylor. She then texted Oakman, whom she had a previous sexual relationship with the year before, and asked him to meet her there. He did.

A friend of Oakman’s said that around closing time at the bar, he asked the former Baylor defensive end what he was going to do next, to which Oakman responded while gesturing toward the woman, “Sh**, her.” Oakman’s friend, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald, said the woman “grinned and hugged Oakman like she was proud Oakman acknowledged publicly that they were together.” She had apparently discussed her previous sexual relationship with Oakman while she was a senior at Baylor. The two parted, remaining friends.'
