CHARGES Dismissed. Cornell Male Was Always Innocent.

August 17, 2017

The sexual assault charges brought against former Cornell basketball forward Xavier Eaglin ’19 in March 2016 have been dismissed. Although Eaglin no longer faces criminal charges, he will not be able to return to Cornell. After his arrest, Eaglin was dismissed from the basketball team and banned from campus. He spent seven days in jail before he was bailed out by his parents and then returned home. “We are just thankful justice prevailed and that we can start repairing our lives,” said Eaglin’s mother Clara Eaglin.
