Ex-Lions OG Rodney Austin was found guilty in a North Carolina court today of assault on a female, a child under 12 & misdemeanor larceny

Austin has vehemently denied the charges, which were filled 11 days after the alleged incident. He has instructed his legal team to sue Gill-Sadler for malicious prosecution, defamation of character and slander, but that will be hard now that he is found guilty of the charges.
