Rising Longwood University senior and member of the men’s basketball team, Jason Pimentel, was found guilty of sexual battery in Prince Edward County District Court last February.
Shortly after appealing the indictment to the circuit court, he was reinstated to the team prior to their home game on Feb. 14. Pimentel was arrested on one count of Sexual Battery which is a class 1 misdemeanor, on Nov. 5, only three days after the incident took place.
Hon. Judge Kimberly White is expected to be presiding over Pimentel’s trial on July 13 at 9:30 a.m. and this trial will be open to the public.
