MADISON, Wis. (AP) The Latest on Wisconsin receiver Quintez Cephus, who has taken a leave of absence from the team (all times local):
3:25 p.m.
Authorities in Wisconsin have charged Badgers wide receiver Quintez Cephus with third-degree sexual assault and second-degree sex assault of an intoxicated victim, both felonies.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne filed the charges. The 20-year-old Cephus is due to make his first court appearance on Thursday.
Cephus posted in a tweet late Saturday that he was taking a leave of absence from the team because he believed prosecutors intended to file criminal charges against him for an incident in April involving what he calls a ''consensual relationship.''
Cephus didn't specify what he is accused of but denied any wrongdoing and said he has been wrongfully accused.
