Jury Begins Consultation of Rape Trial for Former Vanderbilt Football Players

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A jury has started deliberating in the rape trial for two former Vanderbilt football players.

Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey are each charged with five counts of aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.

Prosecutors say Vandenburg brought an unconscious 21-year-old woman he had been seeing back to his dorm room after a night of drinking in 2013 and the assault happened.

Defense attorneys say Vandenburg took "deplorable" photos but did not take part in the alleged sexual assault. Batey testified that he was so drunk he didn't remember what happened until he later saw cellphone photos and video.

The woman testified she didn't remember what happened that night.

Two other former players are also facing rape charges. Their trials have not been set.
