Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson will not file criminal charges against Sherron Collins, citing insufficient evidence.
Collins, who former Jayhawker Towers employee Jessica Brown accused of exposing his penis and rubbing on her in an elevator in May 2007, will still have to deal with a civil lawsuit.
A Douglas County judge ordered Collins to pay Brown $75,000 last month by default because Collins never responded to the case against him. Collins has continued to say he is innocent.
“Although these claims have been very hurtful to me personally and damaged my reputation,” Collins said in a statement, “I have always been confident that there is no evidence that could implicate me in any way, shape or form.”
Collins added that he hoped the lack of criminal charges would help restore his reputation.
Kansas coach Bill Self has supported Collins since the allegations were made 14 months ago. Self said the athletics department had known about the claims since they were made but was surprised when the civil suit arose a year later.
“This information comes as no surprise to me,” Self said in a statement. “Sherron has maintained his innocence since the day these allegations were made over a year ago.”
