Shawn Oakman Attorneys Withdraw from Sexual Assault Case Due to Lack of Payment

The lawyers for former Baylor defensive lineman Shawn Oakman are withdrawing from his sexual assault case after they weren't paid for their services. 

Per Tommy Witherspoon of the Waco Tribune, attorneys Russ Hunt and Michelle Tuegel filed a motion to withdraw from Oakman's case because he "has not paid them."

The Associated Press reported in April 2016 that Oakman was being investigated by Texas police officers after a woman made sexual assault allegations against the former Baylor football player. 

Oakman entered a not guilty plea last August. 

Per Witherspoon, Oakman's trial is currently scheduled to begin on August 22 but "court officials said his trial likely will be postponed."

Oakman played three years at Baylor from 2013-15 after being dismissed from Penn State in 2012 for an unspecified violation of team rules.
