Former Baylor player found not guilty

WACO, Texas

A Central Texas jury on Thursday found a former Baylor University football player not guilty of raping another student in 2016, the latest case linked to a scandal that rocked the nation’s largest Baptist university and led to the departure of several top leaders.

The McLennan County jury deliberated about two hours in Waco before acquitting Shawn Oakman of sexual assault.
