Stevenson to stand trial on reduced charges in Fresno
Utah Jazz guard DeShawn Stevenson faces a misdemeanor statutory rape charge after a Fresno court hearing. Both Stevenson and friend DeShawn Anderson, 20, must stand trial as one alleged victim recanted and described a kissing incident rather than sexual acts. A second 14-year-old alleged victim initially said sex occurred but did not attend the hearing. If convicted on the reduced charges each man could face up to one year in jail and a $1000 fine.
