Former Iowa football player Cedric Everson was sentenced Friday to one week in jail for a 2007 assault on a female athlete that caused a scandal reaching to the highest levels of the university administration. District Judge Paul Miller ordered the 21-year-old Everson to report to the Johnson County Jail on July 15 to serve the sentence after he completes summer classes at a community college in Detroit. Jurors convicted Everson of assault in January after finding him innocent of sexual abuse charges that could have brought lengthy prison terms. "Regardless of the level of crime the jury convicted you of, you should be ashamed of your conduct that resulted in the conviction for assault," Miller told Everson. "You came here to Iowa City as a football player for the University of Iowa. You were looked up to by people throughout the state of Iowa."
