BOULDER, Colo.—A former University of Colorado football player convicted of trying to cover up a sexual assault has been sentenced to 90 days in jail.
The Daily Camera reports that 22year–old Michael O’Connor pleaded guilty to being an accessory to sexual assault earlier this month (). According to Boulder police, O’Connor met a woman at a bar last December and went home with her. Fellow football player Michael Sipili, 23, entered the room while the two were intimate and sexually assaulted the woman. O’Connor allegedly tried to cover up blood on the sheets and lied to police.
Sipili was charged with sexual assault and later pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of children and third-degree assault. He received a year of work release and four years’ probation.
O’Connor was sentenced Wednesday.
