Attorneys for a former Baylor University student accused of rape have broken their silence after a judge allowed the former fraternity president to avoid serving jail time.

Defense attorneys said that a statement from the woman who accused Jacob Walter Anderson of rape was "riddled with distortions and misrepresentations."

The attorneys added that Anderson and the woman were seen by many people "kissing passionately" at the fraternity party where she alleged the assault occurred, and that her claim of being choked was "absolutely contrary" to evidence.

The University of Texas at Dallas, which Anderson appears to attend, faced an online petition calling for him to be removed from the school.

The university's president said the school admitted a student two years ago "without knowing their legal history."
