BOISE, Idaho (AP) Boise State says allegations by Sam Ukwuachu’s girlfriend that he assaulted her when they were students there were never reported to school officials and accusations of physical violence against women were not a reason for his dismissal.
Ukwuachu was convicted of sexual assault last week in Waco, Texas, where he had transferred to Baylor in 2013.
Boise State released a statement Tuesday saying it ”never received any reports nor had any knowledge of Sam Ukwuachu being involved in any accusations of sexual assault before or during his time at Boise State.”
During Ukwuachu’s trial, his former girlfriend from Boise State testified he choked and hit her. Boise State says that was not reported to school officials, but the university will begin a Title IX inquiry into the incident.
