No jail time for ex-Baylor student accused of sex assault
DALLAS (AP) — A Texas judge has accepted a plea bargain that allows a former Baylor University student accused of raping a woman at a fraternity party to avoid serving jail time, marking at least the third time the judge has approved probation for men accused of sexually assaulting Baylor students.
Judge Ralph Strother's decision on Monday to accept the plea deal sparked outrage from the woman who accused Jacob Walter Anderson of repeatedly raping her.
The woman said she was plied with a drink of punch at a 2016 party and became disoriented. She said Anderson led her behind a tent and assaulted her while she was gagged and choked.
