CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has testified at the sexual assault trial of former teammate Perrish Cox, saying Cox carried a sleeping woman into a bedroom and said: “I think she’s ready.”

Thomas said Wednesday that he dismissed Cox’s suggestion. He told jurors that he didn’t want to have sex with the woman because she was drunk.

Thomas testified that Cox then sat with him in the living room for a while. He said the woman was still in the bedroom when he left about an hour later.

The woman went to police after she found out she was pregnant, and investigators say DNA tests have indicated Cox is the father.

The woman testified earlier Wednesday, saying she and a girlfriend met Cox and Thomas at a club that night. She said she suspects she was drugged.
