The Advocate is reporting that suspended LSU offensive lineman Ed Ingram has been indicted by a Texas Grand Jury on two counts of aggravated sexual assault.

quote:
The grand jury held a hearing last Friday to decide whether the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office had enough evidence to proceed with a trial, and Mike Howard, a Dallas-based attorney who represents Ingram, 19, said the first court setting will be on Nov. 20.

The grand jury indicted Ingram on both counts, Howard said, and the jury returned the decision on Monday.

Ingram, a native of DeSoto, Texas, did not testify in Friday’s hearing, Howard said.

Sexual assault is pretty much guilty until proven innocent

Time to buy some billboards in Texas? #FreeEdIngram Someone start the GoFundMe account. And, I'm sure there is a conspiracy led by Saban, University of Alabama and the SEC office in Birmingham, right?

innocent till proven guilty...if hes literally guilty of the above charges the jury will prolly reach a guilty verdict...if it was anyway consensual, I would expect a lesser charge to come of it...possibly one that tilts playing time in his favor...I hope so (if hes innocent that is)

"innocent till proven guilty" is only the standard inside a courtroom. Nothing wrong with an organization cutting ties with a player, employee, executive, etc. based on the severity of the charges, before a trial, which takes months or years.

This is actually positive news. They can now start having hearings on this. I suspect Ed will plead to a lesser charge (my understanding is that this was a consensual relationship in high school) and he'll be back in 2019.
