Indianapolis Colts rookie linebacker Bobby Okereke on Saturday denied wrongdoing in the Title IX case of sexual assault that was filed against him in 2015 when he was at Stanford, citing the twice-issued ruling of the university’s in-house disciplinary board in the case. Okereke was exonerated and allowed to continue as a member of the Stanford Cardinal football team. Okereke, speaking on the matter for the first time since news of the allegation broke in June, maintains his innocence. “Those were untrue allegations,” Okereke said. “I fully complied with the school investigation and was found not responsible. I informed the team about it during the pre-draft process.”
“Right now, I’m just focused on making this team,” Okereke said. “Helping this team out like I can and moving forward.”
