Terrence Shannon Jr. to Face Trial for Rape Charges in June

The former Illinois basketball star was ordered by a Kansas judge to stand trial following allegations of sexual assault in Lawrence.

Shannon, accused of assaulting a woman in a bar, pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree felony rape and aggravated sexual battery.
The trial is set to commence on June 10, ahead of the NBA Draft where Shannon is a projected first-round pick.
Shannon was temporarily reinstated to the Illinois basketball team after a federal judge's ruling, despite being suspended earlier.
The university ceased its investigation into the allegations against Shannon in April.
Legal proceedings will determine Shannon's involvement, with his attorneys stating the preliminary hearing does not imply guilt.
