Former BYU football player Parker Kingston, who was removed from the team due to rape allegations, returned to court for his preliminary hearing after a year-long investigation. The victim, who claims to have been raped multiple times, testified that she said no several times during a sexual assault exam and that Kingston's phone messages indicated he regretted the incident. The defense argued that the alleged victim reopened the case after an article about rape allegations was published. The preliminary hearing was initially scheduled for March but postponed after attorneys requested more time. If the judge finds enough evidence to go to trial, the case will be dismissed.
