No prosecution will be held for Patriots’ wide receiver

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte will not be prosecuted on charges related to illegal online gaming that police said took place while he was underage and playing for Louisiana State, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Boutte was arrested in January after Louisiana State Police said he created an online betting account under a fake name and placed thousands of illegal bets, including 17 on NCAA games, six on LSU games.

The statement from the East Baton Rouge Parish district attorney’s office did not address allegations that Boutte bet on himself in one game. But it said Boutte did not bet against himself or his team and nobody suffered financial losses as a result of his conduct.
