A jury has found a former University of New Hampshire football player not guilty of a sexual assault charge involving a woman at a party.
JeRome Wilkins was acquitted Monday. He was charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault in July 2010. The woman and Wilkins knew each other.
Foster’s Daily Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/whJFmS) the 21-year-old Wilkins testified Friday that he engaged in sexual activity with the woman and that he believed it was consensual. The woman testified she was assaulted before blacking out. She never identified Wilkins, although police found a semen stain on her dress and the DNA matched Wilkins’.
