Ex-Bronco Cox acquitted of sexual assault...

Seriesly...

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) A Colorado jury acquitted former Denver Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox of sexual assault charges on Friday, a verdict that was met with disbelief by the alleged victim.

Cox was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at his apartment in September 2010 after a night of partying. She became pregnant, and prosecutors said DNA tests indicated Cox was the father.

Cox hugged his attorney after the verdict was read, while the alleged victim let out an audible sigh and a cry. As she was leaving the courtroom, she said, "Oh my God, what's happening?"

Cox expressed appreciation for his attorney, Harvey Steinberg, and others who supported him during the trial.

I'd like to hear their explanation how the DNA test get tainted.

I hope she files civil suit. Cox took advantage of her in an inebriated state and needs to be held accountable. The teammates are also accountable for not interfering. They're all creeps.
