University of Illinois basketball standout Terrence Shannon Jr. testifies during his trial Thursday June 13, 2024, in Lawrence, Kan. Shannon, of Champaign, Ill., is accused of committing sexual assault on Sept.
Shannon testified that he joined two roommates and a few Kansas players at a bar on Sept. 8, 2023, but he only had a few drinks and remembered everything that happened that night. Shannon said he didn’t learn of the rape allegation until several weeks later, and that he had never seen the 18-year-old woman who had accused him until the case had begun.
Shannon’s lawyers called the allegations a “blind accusation” and questioned the motives of the woman. They also criticized the prosecutors in Douglas County for a lack of evidence and a Lawrence detective for the thoroughness of his investigation.
