The school said it didn’t have sufficient evidence to determine if the basketball star violated the student code after being accused of rape.
Northwestern forward Nick Martinelli, 2, applies pressure as Illinois guard Terrence Shannon Jr., 0, passes to a teammate in the second half of a game at Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston on Jan. 24, 2024. The University of Illinois has closed a student misconduct investigation of men’s basketball star Terrence Shannon Jr.
“The complainant has not indicated an intent to participate in a hearing before a hearing panel at this time,” the director, Robert Wilczynski, wrote in the letter. “As a result, the process has concluded.” No disciplinary action will be taken at this time, he added. Lawrence police said in an affidavit that a woman, born in 2005, told a detective that Shannon put his hand under her skirt, grabbed her buttocks and penetrated her with his finger while at a crowded bar near the Kansas campus.
