NEW ORLEANS, La., (KNOE 8 News) - In New Orleans, an Orleans Parish grand jury indicted Brian H. Downing.
Downing is allegedly the Alabama fan seen on an internet video apparently committing sexual battery on an unconscious LSU fan after the BCS championship football game.
The grand jury handed down the indictment Thursday, formally charging Downing with one count each of sexual battery of a male victim and obscenity.
The video, which went viral on the internet earlier this year, is believed to have been taken at a fast-food restaurant in New Orleans after Alabama defeated LSU on Jan. 9. In that video, a man - said to be Downing, of Smiths Station, Ala. - wearing Crimson Tide attire appears to perform a simulated sex act on the LSU fan.
