COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A University of Maryland assistant women’s basketball coach has been suspended after a player he coached at Xavier University accused him of groping her.
A Kenton County, Kentucky, prosecutor says Bryce McKey’s attorney entered a not-guilty plea for him Friday on a charge of third-degree sexual abuse, a misdemeanor. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 8. McKey’s attorney didn’t immediately return a telephone message.
According to a sworn affidavit, the Xavier (of Cincinnati) player says McKey asked her to come to his home in Covington in May. She says during the evening, he repeatedly touched her inappropriately.
A phone message was left Friday at McKey’s office. School spokesman Zack Bolno says he is suspended indefinitely.
The Associated Press isn’t naming the woman because of the nature of the case.
