OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say Creighton basketball player Maurice Watson Jr. is a suspect in an alleged sexual assault in Omaha.
According to an incident report, a 19-year-old woman said Watson had nonconsensual sexual intercourse with her in the bathroom of a midtown residence about 3 a.m. on Feb. 4.
Officer Michael Pecha said Thursday that no arrest has been made and that an investigation continues.
No. 23 Creighton on Wednesday announced that Watson has been suspended from all athletic-related activities since Feb. 13. Watson sustained a season-ending knee injury last month and recently had surgery in his hometown of Philadelphia.
Watson has not responded to requests for comment.
