UConn expels Miles following arrest
Miles, 20, was arrested on Sept. 22 for violating a restraining order just 16 minutes after it was issued.
According to a court affidavit, the victim, a 19-year-old female student, said Miles attempted to pressure her into sex and became physical. The two began dating in September and she said that "the first time we had sex it was consensual", but she said that Miles "began to dig his nails into my thighs or side when he would become angry with me."
The university's decision can be appealed within five days. The Hartford Courant, however, reported that Miles was on his way home to Toledo, Ohio, with his mother.
"In my mind, he was railroaded today," said Sean Patterson, a former youth coach who became Miles' legal guardian, according to the paper.
Miles, a long 6-foot-6 wing who attended five high schools, is extremely talented and could have been the difference-maker for a program that is arguably as loaded on paper as anyone except for North Carolina.
