Omaha police are investigating Creighton point guard Maurice Watson in connection with an alleged sexual assault that took place in Omaha earlier in February, according to a source with knowledge that a police investigation had been launched.

Creighton announced Wednesday that it suspended the injured senior more than a week ago for an undisclosed violation of university rules.

A young woman, a Creighton student who was an acquaintance of Watson’s, accused him of sexually assaulting her, said the source, who spoke to The World-Herald on condition of anonymity.

According to a police report, a 19-year-old woman told an Omaha police officer that she had been sexually assaulted in the bathroom of a residence about 3 a.m. Feb. 4. The woman filed the report shortly after 10:30 a.m. that day.

No charges had been filed and Watson had not been arrested as of Wednesday night.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine declined to comment when reached Wednesday night.

Creighton stated in a press release that Watson is not allowed to participate in any “athletic-related activities for alleged actions that are contrary to university policies and core values.” That disciplinary action was issued on Feb. 13.
