One of the three former New Mexico State University men’s basketball players accused in a 2023 sexual assault and hazing case agreed to testify against his former teammates in exchange for a plea deal, the Las Cruces Bulletin has confirmed.
Doctor Bradley, who was accused of aiding in the sexual assault of his teammates in 2023, accepted a plea deal on Oct. 23, 2024 that drops the most serious charges. Bradley, 23, was charged with 16 crimes, including criminal sexual penetration and criminal sexual contact.
According to his plea deal, Bradley agreed to plead guilty to two counts of disorderly conduct, both petty misdemeanors. The maximum sentence for petty misdemeanors in New Mexico is six months in jail and a $500 fine.
A spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Justice confirmed that part of Bradley’s deal involved his testimony against his former teammate.
The Bulletin reached out the Bradley’s attorney, but did not receive a response.
Kim Aiken Jr. and Deshawndre Washington remain scheduled for trial in February 2025. Both have pleaded not guilty. Bradley is set to be sentenced after that trial, in March.
The allegations against the three men also led to multiple lawsuits against NMSU that said the school and its leaders failed to protect the other players despite having knowledge of the assaults. One of those lawsuits ended with NMSU agreeing to pay out over $4 million.
