NO INDICTMENT IN LOUISVILLE SCANDAL

-

A Kentucky grand jury declined to indict an escort and a former Louisville men’s basketball staffer in a sex scandal that engulfed the program. The Jefferson County grand jury decided Thursday there wasn’t enough evidence for charges of prostituti­on and unlawful transactio­ns with a minor against Katina

Powell and Andre McGee. Powell wrote in a book published in 2015 that McGee, a staffer under coach Rick Pitino, had hired her to provide dancers to perform sex acts for Cardinals recruits and players from 2010 to 2014. The announceme­nt by the Commonweal­th’s Attorney’s Office comes as the school awaits discipline expected to be handed down by the NCAA in early June.
