Henry pleads innocent to latest charges

June 15, 2006

COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Bengals receiver Chris Henry pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges accusing him of providing alcohol to three underage females.

Henry, 23, has been arrested four times in the last seven months in three states. He was arraigned on his latest set of charges in northern Kentucky on Thursday morning, then went to Paul Brown Stadium for the team's minicamp.

Henry did not practice with the team because he is still recovering from a knee injury suffered during Cincinnati's playoff loss to Pittsburgh last season. Trainer Paul Sparling said Henry could be cleared to resume practice in a few weeks.

The second-year receiver surrendered to Kenton County authorities Thursday on three misdemeanor counts of unlawful transaction with a minor. If convicted, he could get up to a year in jail and a $500 fine on each count.

It's his second case in Kenton County, where he was arrested last December on a charge of marijuana possession. He pleaded guilty in March and avoided jail time after completing a drug rehabilitation program.

Henry also faces trial Aug. 21 in Orlando, Fla., on a concealed weapons charge. He is accused of pulling a pistol on a group of revelers in January. Earlier this month, Henry was charged in nearby Clermont County, Ohio, with speeding and drunken driving.

The latest charges grew out of an investigation into an 18-year-old woman's claim that Henry sexually assaulted her at a hotel. She was charged with filing a false police report after police said she changed her story.

Henry is accused of providing alcohol to the woman and two other females 15 and 16 years old. Authorities said more charges could be added.

Henry and the Bengals have declined comment.

Under NFL rules, a player cannot be released by a team while he is hurt. Henry could be subject to suspension without pay under the league's policies on substance abuse.

I can't keep up with this kid.... I don't know if we talked about it already or not.

Yeah I think we did talk about this already, but I just hope if we get rid of Henry we get a trade out of him instead of just cutting him.
