Former NFL cornerback C.J. Spillman was convicted of sexual assault on Thursday stemming from a 2014 incident at the Cowboys’ team hotel when Spillman played for Dallas.
According to Claire Z. Cardona of the Dallas Morning News, a jury found Spillman guilty in under two hours in a trial that began on Monday in Fort Worth, Tex.
The second degree felony sexual assault charge carries a sentence of between two and 20 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
Spillman was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Tex. on Sept. 20, 2014. Spillman wasn’t officially charged until June 30, 2015 and Spillman played the remainder of the 2014 season with the Cowboys while charges were pending.
Spillman admitted to having sex with the woman but claimed it was a consensual encounter. The jury disagreed.
He has not been on an NFL roster since the conclusion of the 2014 season.
