The Times-News reports 39-year-old Steven Ray Stone pleaded guilty Friday in exchange for dismissal of the other charges and a recommended probationary sentence. He has spent 133 days in jail and is to be sentenced on June 2.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Two former Boise State University students are suing the school because they say athletic officials ignored their reports of sexual assault and harassment by a star athlete. The women are represented by nationally known attorney Gloria Allred, who has handled similar lawsuits in several other states. They contend Boise State University athletic officials knew the athlete who abused them had a record of serially harassing and assaulting fellow students, and that the school's failure to take action spurred the athlete to continue the behavior.
