FAIRBANKS — A former University of Alaska Fairbanks hockey player was found not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman on campus.
Nolan Youngmun, 24, of Anchorage had been charged with first- and second- degree sexual assault after the woman claimed he raped her in an on-campus apartment last year. Youngmun was cleared of both charges Monday, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
Prosecutors had argued that Youngmun entered the woman’s room naked, woke and sexually assaulted her.
William Ingaldson, Youngmun’s attorney, countered that the woman was inconsistent in her accounts to authorities and university police were too quick to blame Youngmun.
Youngmun is still facing a sexual assault charge in another incident in 2013.
Youngmun played for the Nanooks hockey team at the time. He ended his four-year college hockey career with the team at the end of his senior year in 2015.
