Andy Christensen Not Guilty of Sexual Assault

Posted by huskerfan on September 3, 2008

A jury found Nebraska football player Andy Christensen not guilty yesterday of first degree sexual assault.  The offensive lineman had been accused of reaching under the skirt of a 23-year-old woman at a Lincoln bar in early March and fondling her.  He was suspended from the team following the March incident.  Last month, Christensen pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and criminal mischief in connection with the sexual-assault case.  He’ll likely be sentenced on those misdemeanor charges in November.  The 22-year-old Christensen is a graduate of Bennington High School.  He started three games at left guard last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
