Logan detective testifies in trial of ex-Utah State player

LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Prosecutors questioned the tactics used by a police detective when he investigated a rape allegation against a promising Utah State University football player as the handling of the allegations surfaced during trial.

Defense attorneys for Torrey Green called Logan detective Kendall Olsen to the stand Monday, focusing questions to him on Green’s willingness to be interviewed after a woman reported an allegation in 2015.

Green is accused of sexually assaulting six women when he was a student from 2013 to 2015. He has been charged with 11 felony counts.

During cross-examination, prosecutors characterized the detective’s interactions with Green as treating him with “kid gloves,” criticizing Olsen for never getting confrontational with Green and never asking hard questions during the 2015 police interview.
