When the Penn State football team begins spring practice Friday, Brent Wilkerson will not be among the participants. The Nittany Lions tight end has been suspended indefinitely after being charged with indecent assault and harassment, as reported by Mark Brennan at scout.com.

Update

Wilkerson fell asleep at the State College apartment of a 24-year-old female friend, after she drove him and his roommate home, according to the Centre Daily times.

According to court documents, the woman told police she awoke 45 minutes later with Wilkerson pulling her to him, wearing only his underwear and undershirt, as reported by the Centre Daily Times. "What are you doing...stop!" she said."

The woman said she continued to tell him to stop, but he responded by grabbing her neck, trying to remove her clothes and kissing her, reports blackshoediaries.com. Wilkerson then exposed himself and began masturbating.

The woman said gave a ride to Wilkerson and his roommate because they had been drinking and she was sober. Once at there, he invited himself into her apartment.

The incident occurred Feb. 13 but the charges were not filed until March 8.

Here is a link to the legal record, which shows Wilkerson's preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 6. The indecent assault count is a misdemeanor, while the harassment accusation is a lesser charge.
