ST. LOUIS • Four St. Louis University basketball players are accused of sexual assault, but their lawyers say they don’t think criminal charges will be filed.

Three women reported sexual assaults by St. Louis University student-athletes early Sunday, police said. The women — two of whom are students at the university — went to a St. Louis hospital about 2:30 a.m. Sunday, less than two hours after the alleged assaults occurred.

The women said the incidents happened at an on-campus apartment in the first block of North Grand Boulevard.

Attorney John Rogers said Thursday he is representing one of the basketball players and that St. Louis police have told him it is a “noncriminal investigation.” But a St. Louis police spokeswoman said the investigation is ongoing and detectives have not determined whether the alleged incidents are criminal.

Police have not released the names of the players under investigation.
