Update: KUT News has received a statement from attorney Perry Q. Minton, who is representing Jordan Hicks. It reads in part:
"Mr. Hicks vehemently asserts that all conduct that occurred during the evening of the incident was consensual by everyone involved. The allegation, if any, that a sexual assault occurred by anyone at anytime is completely false."
