Quintez Cephus has been suspended by Wisconsin after two women accused him of rape.
Cephus was in court defending himself against the accusations and his attorneys provided this proof that no assault took place.
Wisconsin receiver Quintez Cephus appeared in court Thursday on charges alleging he sexually assaulted two drunken women this spring – one day after his attorneys asked the judge to dismiss one count because, they claim, the women were not noticeably impaired and one even texted the college junior a ‘kissing’ emoji after their encounter.
According to a criminal complaint, Cephus sexually assaulted two drunken women at once in the bedroom of his apartment in April.
Cephus’ attorneys contend in their motion that surveillance camera footage shows I.A. walking down stairs in the apartment building without any difficulty after the alleged assaults supposedly took place. The footage also shows S.R. talking with Cephus at the apartment door in what appears to be normal conversation.
The motion also alleges that I.A. sent Cephus a text about 45 minutes after leaving the building asking him to look for a vaping device she left at the apartment. She closed the text with a heart and a kiss emoji, signaling she was interested in seeing Cephus again, the lawyers wrote.
They maintain that prosecutors made a conscious decision not to mention that evidence in the complaint, amounting to a ‘material misstatement of fact given the extreme intoxication alleged in the complaint in this case.’
If convicted Cephus is looking at 40 years in jail, if it is true his accusers are lying, they should get the same.
