Ravens security director accused of groping takes stand

Published August 19, 2015

BALTIMORE (AP) The security director for the Baltimore Ravens took the stand at his own trial to deny allegations that he groped a stadium worker after a game.

Darren Sanders testified on Wednesday that he never touched his accuser, a woman who works for a cleaning service contracted with M&T Bank Stadium. The woman alleges Sanders grabbed her buttocks and breasts without her permission as she escorted him to the elevator after a December game.

Sanders faces second-degree sexual assault and fourth-degree sex offense charges. He testified Wednesday that not only did he never touch the woman, but he rebuffed her advances: Sanders told jurors that she asked for his phone number and he politely declined.

Attorneys will give closing arguments Thursday morning before jurors begin deliberating the case.
