Rape charge against Boston University hockey player dropped Jun 1st 2012, 15:42 BOSTON –  Authorities have dropped rape charges against a former Boston University hockey player. Prosecutors said during a brief court hearing Friday they are no longer pursuing the case against Max Nicastro, but did not specify their reasons. The 22-year-old Nicastro told the Boston Herald outside court that he was relieved and wanted to move on. Nicastro, of Thousand Oaks, Calif., was arrested Feb. 19 after he was accused of assaulting a female student on campus. He pleaded not guilty, was suspended from the team and withdrew from school. His lawyer says prosecutors conducted a "thorough investigation" and "declined to prosecute, which speaks volumes." The prosecutor had no comment outside court. The defenseman was a 2008 Detroit Red Wings draft pick.
