Austin American-Statesman
Lance Armstrong s son, Luke Armstrong, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in 2018, according to an arrest affidavit issued on April 1.
The 21-year-old son of the disgraced cycling legend was charged with sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. A complete review of the facts will confirm what has been alleged absolutely did not occur and a proper and thorough legal process will exonerate Luke, said Randy Leavitt, Armstrong s attorney on Wednesday. What occurred three years ago in high school was not a crime and not a sexual assault. What it was was a consensual relationship then and it continued to be consensual between the two young people with both ultimately going their separate ways. These charges should never have been filed and certainly not three years later.
