A 20-year-old UW-La Crosse student arrested on Saturday on tentative charges that he sexually assaulted a 19-year-old UW-Madison female student has been released from jail with no charges being filed against him, according to published reports.
The La Crosse Tribune reported that Bebeto Yepmo Yewah was released from the Dane County Jail on Tuesday, after District Attorney Brian Blanchard declined to prosecute the case.
“The office lacks sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed,” Blanchard said in an e-mail to WKOW-TV, the newspaper article said.
Yewah is a national champion wrestler at 133 pounds for the UW-La Crosse wrestling team. He is a sophomore from Lansing, Mich.
