Two found guilty, two awaiting trial. Some pretty sick details emerge from the testimony and evidence. Seven counts each plus tampering and photographing.
It's an complete fluke these guys got busted. The girl was passed out, so she had no idea of what happened. Vandy was investigating a separate broken door incident and came across footage of a gang of players hauling this half-naked girl down the hall of the dormitory. They filmed it and took pictures, a roommate was there to witness and one of the guys involved turned state's witness.
Franklin took a page out of the Tom Osborne/Bobby Bowden/Jimbo Fisher playbook and tried to cover the whole thing up. He's already changed his story a couple of times. He said he watched the video several times (basically evidence of rape before the police knew) but now denies it.
This is how he approached the frickin' rape victim. What a complete scumbag. Really glad we didn't end up with him as a coach. He's perfect for Pedo State U. http://www.tennessean.com/story/new...lin-allegation-surfaces-vandy-filing/8476049/
Then there are these details from the trial:
Their defense was 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." Good lord. These guys are going away for a long, long time.

The attorneys said the victim was contacted by Franklin and Galt during a medical examination four days after the rape to explain "that they cared about her because she assisted them with recruiting."
It went on to say that, "Coach Franklin then called her in for a private meeting and told her he wanted her to get fifteen pretty girls together and form a team to assist with the recruiting even though he knew it was against the rules. He added that all the other colleges did it."

Then there are these details from the trial:
Testimony showed Vandenburg passed out condoms to the other players, slapped her buttocks and said he couldn't have sex with the woman because he was high on cocaine.
Batey raped the woman and urinated on her, prosecutors said.
Their defense was 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." Good lord. These guys are going away for a long, long time.
