Former Sooner facing molestation, porn charges | Oklahoma Sooners News | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News
A former University of Oklahoma football player who wrote an autobiography about being a deaf athlete and depression has been charged with child molestation and pornography.
A Norman police affidavit says 29-year-old Eric Thunander was arrested Tuesday and has confessed. He's being held in the Cleveland County jail on three counts of lewd acts with a child and one count of possession of child pornography.
It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.
The affidavit says a 9-year-old girl told a daycare worker on Aug. 10 that Thunander touched her inappropriately earlier that day. He's also accused of molesting the girl on Aug. 9 and sometime between May and September of 2008.
Thunander played for OU in 1999 and on the 2000 national championship team before an ear injury ended his career.
