Gertson pleads not guilty

Arrested Portland State football player Abraham David Gertson entered a not guilty plea this morning to charges of third-degree sex abuse, harassment and resisting arrest on Nov. 22.

Gertson, 20, is expected to undergo a Portland State Student Code of Conduct hearing at some point, according to the Dean of Students office.

After the code of conduct hearing process, his future status as a student and a football player will be determined.

The redshirted freshman remained in Multnomah County Jail as of yesterday morning, and his bail was set at $6,500. Three of the charges are misdemeanors and the assault charge is a felony, according to county jail representatives.
