Rashid is facing two counts of third-degree sexual assault – domestic abuse assessments and fourth-degree sexual assault – domestic abuse assessments. The criminal charges were filed on April 30.
During the criminal charges, the city of Neenah placed Rashid on paid administrative leave pending further review and later reinstated him after an extensive internal personnel investigation found no violations pertaining to matters of the workplace.
