ISU basketball player Bubu Palo’s hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday has officially been rescheduled to the same time Dec. 11 at the Nevada Courthouse, according to the Story County Attorney’s Office.
Palo and Spencer Cruise, both 21, are being charged with second-degree sexual abuse for allegedly sexually assault a woman in May.
The affidavit obtained says: “On 05/18/12, an adult female victim reported being sexually assaulted by Spencer Cruise and Yempabou Palo. The victim reported that in the early morning on 05/18/12, Cruise and Palo offered to give her a ride home but instead drove her to 3421 Oakland, Ames, a house owned by Cruise’s family. The victim agreed to go inside the house with them and while inside the house, both Cruise and Palo committed a sex act by force and against the will of the victim. Evidence gathered during the investigation was sent to the state of Iowa DCI lab and both Cruise’s and Palo’s DNA was identified on the evidence.”
Palo is still suspended indefinitely from the ISU men’s basketball team.
