UConn freshman Nate Miles was expelled from
school following a hearing that investigated whether he assaulted a female student.
Miles, 20, was arrested last week of violating a restraining order just 16
minutes after it was issued.
According to a court affidavit, the victim, a 19-year-old female student, said
Miles attempted to pressure her into sex and became physical. The two began
dating earlier this month and she said that "the first time we had sex it was
consensual", but she said that Miles "began to dig his nails into my thighs or
side when he would become angry with me".
The university's decision can be appealed within five days. However, the
Hartford Courant reported that Miles was on his way back home to Toledo, Ohio, with his mother.
Miles is extremely talented and could have been the difference-maker for a
program that is arguably as loaded on paper as anyone except for North Carolina. The long 6-foot-6 wing has attended five schools.
