Jury selection has begun for the trial of a former University of Alaska Fairbanks hockey player accused of sexually assaulting a woman on campus.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that Nolan Youngmun is charged with two counts stemming from an April 5 incident in on-campus housing.
Charging documents say Youngmun and another male visited a woman at a campus apartment at 3 a.m. April 5.
Prosecutors say Youngmun entered the other woman’s room naked, woke her and sexually assaulted her despite requests to stop.
University of Alaska Fairbanks police later recorded a conversation between the woman and Youngmun in which he denied forcing the woman to do anything.
This is one of two sexual assault cases against Youngmun.
