A Former Ohio State University running back was cleared on two counts of rape late last week.

Bri’onte Dunn was accused of rape by a woman he had briefly dated in the summer of 2017, according to reporting on the trial from CBS affiliate WBNS-10TV. The woman, who still can’t be named, claimed that after they broke up, he called her for a ride home at 4 a.m. on August 20, 2017. On the witness stand, she testified: “I said where do you want me to take you? He said back to your apartment. I said no, you’re not coming back to my apartment. We’re not seeing each other anymore. I don’t feel comfortable with you staying there.”
