A jury in Baltimore has found Ravens security director Darren Sanders not guilty on all counts in his trial on sexual assault charges.
Sanders was charged with second-degree assault and a fourth-degree sex offense after being accused of fondling the buttocks of a stadium employee, kissing her and attempting to force her hand onto his genitals, but testified during the trial that he never touched the woman and that he refused to give her his phone number after she asked for it.
CBS Baltimore reports that the administrative assistant for Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti also testified that she was on the phone and texting with Sanders about a planned trip to New York when the alleged events took place.
“We’re delighted with the verdict,” a Ravens spokesman said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
Sanders has been on paid leave from the Ravens, but their response to the verdict suggests he’ll be welcomed back now that the charges have been resolved in his favor.
