The identities of the Michigan State football players involved in a Jan. 16 sexual assault at an on-campus apartment have been revealed.
Donnie Corley, Josh King and Demetric Vance have been suspended from the Michigan State football team and removed from university housing after being charged with sexual assault on Tuesday morning.
Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemonann decided her office would authorize charges against the three players on Monday, but would not seek charges against a former Michigan State football staff member as their crime was not sexual in nature.
The football players had arrest warrants issued on Tuesday morning for the third degree criminal sexual conduct charge each is facing. The felony of sexual conduct is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
On Monday, a Michigan State spokesperson told M Live “the athletics department will address the situation once charges are issued.”
A defensive end from Darien, Ill., King's warrant included additional charged of a second count of first degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of capturing and distributing an image of an unclothed person, according to M Live.
Tuesday’s charges make four offseason incidents for Michigan State players after former defensive end Auston Robertson was charged with a third degree crime in April. Robertson allegedly assaulted a woman after following her into her apartment and is out of bond, according to M Live.
