Grand jury to decide fate of former UK player

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The future for a one-time rising star on the UK basketball roster is now in the hands of a grand jury.

25-year-old Michael James Porter was arrested last month on charges of felony sodomy and having sex with a 14-year-old girl.

Court documents state Porter met the girl while serving as a group leader during a church function.  Porter has pleaded not guilty.  Monday his case was sent to a grand jury in Lexington.

Porter played at Kentucky from 2006-2009, but left in his junior year to spend more time with his wife and child.
