No charges filed against OU player

-

No charges will be filed against Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson, who was accused of rape by a former Oklahoma student, after what Cleveland County district attorney Greg

Mashburn described as a “thorough investigat­ion.” Anderson, a redshirt soph- omore, emerged during the season as Oklahoma’s top running back. He led the Sooners in rushing. Earlier this month, a protective order was granted to the former Oklahoma student, 23, who alleged Anderson raped her Nov. 16 after they had met at a bar. Anderson passed a polygraph test last week at the request of his attorney. Retired FBI polygraph examiner Bill Brown reported Anderson “denied the allegation­s” during a three-hour examinatio­n and “was not practicing deception in his replies to relevant questions asked of him on this test.” Under Oklahoma law, polygraph tests are not admissible in court.
