Former Vanderbilt football player convicted of raping unconscious woman
NASHVILLE | BY TIM GHIANNI
A former Vanderbilt University football player was found guilty on Friday of raping an unconscious female student in a dorm room three years ago.
Cory Batey is one of four former Vanderbilt football players charged with aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery stemming from the June 2013 incident.
It took jurors just over two hours to reach the verdict.
This was the second trial and conviction for Batey. He and a fellow former Vanderbilt football player, Brandon Vandenburg, were found guilty in January 2015 of aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery but the judge declared a mistrial because one of the jurors had failed to disclose that he himself was a victim of rape.
The victim in the Vanderbilt case, which drew national attention to sexual assaults on college campuses, had attended a party and was unconscious during the attack, which occurred in a dorm room on campus, prosecutors said.
