3MSU players charged
Three Michigan State football players, including former Hinsdale South star
Josh King, were charged Tuesday with criminal sexual conduct after a woman said she was raped and forced to perform oral sex in the bathroom of an oncampus apartment during a party in January in East Lansing, Michigan.
King, a 19- year- old defensive end from Darien, was charged with first- and thirddegree criminal sexual conduct and with distributing an image of an unclothed person. Safety DemetricVance, 20, and receiver Donnie Corley Jr., 19, face third- degree criminal sexual- conduct charges. Coach Mark Dantonio dismissed all three from the program after the charges were made public.
King, who also wrestled at Hinsdale South, is accused of pulling thewoman into the bathroom and forcing her to perform oral sex before raping her. He then allegedly let the other two players into the bathroom one at a time, and the woman said she was forced to perform oral sex on them, university police Detective Chad Davis said.
