Former St. FX student found guilty on 2 charges of sexual assault
Incidents connected to convictions date back to 2022 and 2023
A former football player for St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S., has been found guilty of two counts of sexual assault.
This comes after Omogbolahan (Teddy) Jegede was arrested and charged in 2023.
The investigation into Jegede began in March of that year when a woman reported to RCMP that she had been assaulted. Three more women later came forward.
Jegede initially faced four charges, but two of those were withdrawn on March 4.
The convictions relate to offences involving separate victims. One assault occurred in September 2022 and the second in February 2023.
A jury in Antigonish found Jegede guilty on Friday. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October.
The university did not reply to a request for comment.
