Ex-Louisville Basketball Star Chris Jones -- Cleared In Rape & Sodomy Case

Former Louisville college basketball star Chris Jones is officially OFF THE HOOK in his rape and sodomy case after a grand jury decided there was not enough evidence to prosecute.

23-year-old Jones was arrested back in February on suspicion of sexually assaulting 2 women at an off-campus apartment party. Jones was kicked off the team hours after the alleged incident for breaking curfew.

The case went to a grand jury in Jefferson County, Kentucky ... but after hearing testimony from several witnesses, the jury decided the case against Jones was not strong enough to move forward.

According to reports, surveillance footage showing the accusers giggling in a hallway after the alleged incident played a major role in the case.
