Last Friday, the Fanhouse
reported that Austin Scott wouldn't play against Iowa and that State College police were investigating a football player for sexual assault, inviting readers to connect the dots. Now
the dots come pre-connected:
Suspended Penn State running back Austin Scott has been charged with raping a woman at his on-campus apartment after meeting her at a bar.
Scott maintains his innocence (via his lawyer):
"The interaction he had with the woman involved was consensual, and we anticipate we will be able to prove that in court," his lawyer, Joseph Amendola, said. "Very optimistic. We're looking forward to the opportunity of establishing his innocence."
He's still off the team; with his trial highly unlikely to be resolved in the next couple months, his career at Penn State is for all intents and purposes over.
