Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley will speak to Cleveland police about the sexual assault allegations made against him on Monday.
That was the word from Conley’s attorney Kevin Spellacy on Thursday, a few hours ahead of the start of the first round of the NFL Draft. Conley, who has not been charged with any crime, was considered to be a likely pick during that round before the allegations surfaced, but the uncertainty could leave him on the board until Friday.
Spellacy also told Cleveland.com that his client will provide a DNA sample to authorities and that he is trying to get video footage from the hotel where the alleged incident took place. Conley called the allegations “untrue, wrongful and malicious” in a statement released on Wednesday.
Conley was initially scheduled to attend the draft in Philadelphia, but changed those plans after the allegations went public earlier this week.
