LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Former Louisville basketball player Chris Jones was cleared on rape and sodomy charges Wednesday by a grand jury.
The decision came two months after Jones was arrested on allegations that he and two other men sexually assaulted two women, ages 19 and 20, at a party at an off-campus apartment.
Jones was initially charged with two counts of rape and two counts of sodomy.
Jones’ co-defendants, Jalen Tilford, 21, and Tyvon Walker, 19, also were cleared of the same charges.
All three pleaded not guilty to the original charges in February.
