Felony Rape Case Against Ex-Kansas Player Arterio Morris Dropped

Prosecutors cite insufficient evidence, leaving open the possibility of future charges.

Prosecutors in Douglas County, Kansas, have dropped a felony rape case against former Kansas basketball player Arterio Morris due to insufficient evidence.
The case dismissal allows for the possibility of refiling charges in the future, as there is no statute of limitations on rape charges in Kansas.
Morris was charged following an alleged sexual assault on August 26 at McCarthy Hall, home to the men's basketball team.
Before transferring to Kansas, Morris faced a misdemeanor assault charge in Texas, to which he entered a no-contest plea.
Morris, a former 5-star recruit and McDonald's All-American, expressed relief and a desire to move forward after the dismissal of the charges.
