GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Despite a career that was tarnished by scandal, tight end Mark Chmura will be inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame next July.
Chmura caught 188 passes for 2,253 yards and 17 touchdowns during his career in Green Bay. He was a key contributor on the Packers’ two Super Bowl teams in the 1990s and a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
But many best remember him for a high-profile sexual assault trial at the end of his career. A girl who was 17 at the time accused him of assaulting her in a bathroom during a post-prom party at a friend’s home in April 2000.
Chmura was acquitted in February 2001 and retired from football four months later.
Chmura will be inducted in a ceremony July 17, 2010. Although the Packers Hall of Fame is located at Lambeau, it operates as a nonprofit corporation independent from the team.
