BALTIMORE (AP) β A Baltimore jury has begun deliberating in the trial of the director of security for the Baltimore Ravens, who is accused of groping a stadium worker after a game.
Darren Sanders is charged with second-degree assault and a fourth-degree sex offense stemming from accusations that he inappropriately touched a woman who works for a cleaning crew contracted with M&T Bank Stadium after a game in December.
The woman told jurors that Sanders appeared drunk and touched her buttocks multiple times despite her repeated requests that he stop.
Sanders denied the allegations and told jurors when he took the stand Wednesday that the worker approached him and asked for his phone number, but he rebuffed her advances. Sanders told jurors he never touched the woman.
The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify alleged victims of sexual assault.
