Monday that he is “absolutely innocent” of all charges and that the allegations against him “are lies, fabricated … and they will be proven wrong.”

Evans gave a brief statement, during which he called the charges against him and two other indicted teammates “fantastic lies.”

Evans, a team co-captain, is one of three lacrosse players who lived at the house at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd, where the alleged rape took place the night of March 13. Evans said he and his roommates helped police search for evidence after the incident was reported. He also answered questions and gave a statement to police without a lawyer present “because I knew I had done nothing wrong.”
