CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado jury has acquitted former Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox of sexual assault charges.
The jury returned the verdict Friday.
Cox was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in September 2010 after a night of partying. The alleged victim became pregnant, and prosecutors said DNA tests indicated Cox was the father.
The woman testified that she believed she was drugged because she remembers little about what happened.
Cox denied having sex with the woman. His lawyer disputed the DNA test results and suggested they may have been contaminated.
