 Attorneys representing Michael Williams and A.J. Johnson maintained
their innocence in a brief arraignment in Knox County Criminal Court
on Monday.
Williams and Johnson, who were indicted in February on two counts of
aggravated rape, waived formal reading of the charges and said they
were not guilty, according to the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk.
Williams, who was suspended from the team, is a defensive back.
Johnson, a linebacker, has graduated from the university.
Judge Bob McGee set a trial date of Aug. 24 for Williams and
Johnson, who are free on $40,000 bonds, according to the clerk.
Attorneys for Williams and Johnson could not be reached immediately
for comment.
