Tony Cercy

Tony Cercy faces up to 15 years of imprisonment.

In November, Cercy was convicted in a jury trial in Hot Springs County Court of one count of third-degree sexual assault.

University spokesman Chad Baldwin says the school's athletic department and the UW Foundation will begin fundraising to replace the $2 million gift.

The Fifth Amendment prohibits being tried twice for the same crime, which is known as double jeopardy.

The Cercy's pledged a total of $2 million to the University of Wyoming.

After the judge declared the mistrial on the third-degree sexual assault count, the victim asked District Attorney Michael Blonigen to retry the case.

The case began when law enforcement took a report from the alleged victim on June 28, 2017, about an incident at Cercy's house at Alcova Lake three days before.

The jury's decision boils down to whether the prosecution has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt to convict Tony Cercy -- who is presumed innocent.

We will be updating this story after the prosecution and defense present their closing arguments and the case goes to the jury.
