Sexual assault charges will not be filed against University of Minnesota basketball player Reggie Lynch, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said Monday.

Lynch, a forward from Edina, was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in a campus apartment building on campus May 8.

Lynch was released from jail on May 10 but the County Attorney continued its investigation. On Monday it declined the case.

“We found insufficient evidence to prove that a crime was committed,” spokesman Chuck Laszewski said.

Lynch, a 21-year-old junior who transferred from Illinois State and sat out last season per NCAA rules, was suspended indefinitely pending the outcome of the investigation.

A 6-foot-10, 260-pound forward, he was expected to start for the Gophers this season before his arrest, one in a string of off-court incidents involving Coach Richard Pitino’s players. It’s unclear when or whether Lynch will be reinstated.

“We do not have any additional information to share at this time,” a Gophers spokesman said Monday. Related Articles What’s next for U’s other fall sports? Probably spring schedules

Lynch was the fourth Gophers basketball player to be suspended from the team since February. A fifth player, senior Carlos Morris, was kicked off the team.

Kevin Dorsey, Nate Mason and Dupree McBrayer were suspended for the final four games of the season after a sexually explicit video was posted on Dorsey’s social media accounts. All three players were reinstated to the team in April, but Dorsey has since transferred.
