After 2 convictions, 2 more Vanderbilt players face charges

(AP) — With two of former Vanderbilt football players facing decades in prison after being convicted of the rape of an unconscious student in a dorm room, attention now turns to two of their teammates who have yet to go to trial. The jury saw powerful video evidence and photographs of the then-21-year-old neuroscience major being sexually assaulted on a dorm room floor. The jury rejected claims that they were too drunk to know what they were doing, and that a college culture of binge drinking and promiscuous sex should be blamed for the attack. [...] Vandenburg didn't penetrate the woman and yet he was convicted of multiple counts of aggravated rape because he was considered criminally responsible, prosecutors said. Vandenburg and Batey were both convicted of four counts of aggravated rape, one count of attempted aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.
