Everson reports for jail sentence
Former Iowa football player Cedric Everson reported to the Johnson County Jail Friday to serve a seven-day sentence.
He was sentenced June 23 for simple assault stemming from a 2007 sex abuse case.
Everson, 21, was found guilty Jan. 20 of assault, the lowest level of offense he faced during a seven-day trial in Johnson County. He was accused of sexually assaulting a female UI swimmer while she was passed out in a dorm room on Oct. 14, 2007.
Everson turned himself in Friday after completing a course at a Detroit community college, Miller said.
The judge ordered Everson to pay $2,084 in restitution jointly with Abe Satterfield, Everson's teammate, who was also convicted of assaulting the swimmer. The restitution would pay primarily for the costs associated with the victim's sexual assault examination.
