LOS ANGELES - Prosecutors rejected a sexual assault claim against Los Angeles Lakers center Kwame Brown on Tuesday because of a lack of evidence.
The allegation was made during the Lakers' first-round Western Conference playoff series with Phoenix and had been under investigation since. Brown, from Brunswick, Ga., had denied any wrongdoing and was never arrested. |

Lakers' Brown Won't Face Sex Assault Charges
By Mike Bresnahan, Times Staff Writer
7:49 PM PDT, July 11, 2006
Prosecutors on Tuesday rejected filing sexual assault charges against Lakers center Kwame Brown because of a lack of evidence.
A college student accused Brown, 24, of sexual assault during the Lakers' first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. Brown steadfastly maintained his innocence and on Tuesday expressed his anger and frustration at the allegations after prosecutors declined to file charges.
"Two months ago I assured everyone that I was completely innocent of any wrongdoing," Brown said in a statement. "I am gratified that the authorities have come to the same conclusion and that the matter is being dropped. I have been upset and frustrated to be wrongly and very publicly accused of something that I did not do and to have my name and reputation so unfairly damaged." |
