A jury has found two former Vanderbilt football players guilty on charges of rape
Two former Vanderbilt University football players, Brandon Vandenburg and Corey Batey, were found guilty just a short time ago on charges of raping a woman a few years ago in one of the campus dorms.
It did not take long for a jury to convict the two former Vanderbilt players, as they were in deliberations for just a few hours before coming back with the guilty verdict.

Both players were facing charges on five counts of aggravated rape and two charges of sexual battery.
This is just the beginning of the process, however, as there are two other defendants in this case that have yet to face the jury. Two other ex-players, Brandon Banks and Jaborian McKenzie also face charges of rape and sexual battery, and much like the two that were found guilty today, they have also entered a plea of not guilty to the heinous charges.
Here is a look at the charges the two former players were facing (Warning, some of the charges are graphic in nature):
Cory Batey was found guilty of:
Count 1: aggravated rape, anal penetration with fingers
