LSU offensive lineman Ed Ingram was suspended in early August for reportedly being arrested for aggravated sexual assault. The alleged incident reportedly occurred in August 2017, leading to his arrest earlier this month.

On Friday, Ingram’s lawyer, Mike Howard, issued a statement on Ingram’s ongoing legal issues.

“Edward is not guilty and is looking forward to his day in court,” Howard said in the statement, shared by NOLA.com’s Andrew Lopez. “In this day and age it’s so important to let all the facts come out before making judgments. Edward looks forward to those facts coming out in court and trusts the criminal justice system will get to the truth of the matter. We ask that the media and the public allow the criminal justice system to do its job and give both sides a fair trial without making snap judgments or assumptions.”

Ingram started 12 games for the Tigers at right guard as a freshman last season. He was suspended “indefinitely” earlier this month prior to the report of his arrest becoming public.

LSU opens the season, without Ingram, on Sunday when it plays Miami at AT&T Stadium in Dallas on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
