Dude from Vandy gang rape scandal found guilty.
Brandon Banks Found GuiltyNASHVILLE, Tenn. - On the four-year anniversary of a rape that rocked a university and sent shock waves through a football team, a jury convicted former Vanderbilt University football player Brandon Banks of rape.
Banks was found guilty of one count of aggravated rape and one count of aggravated sexual battery. The minimum sentence was 15 years in prison. A sentencing hearing was expected to be scheduled for the judge to determine exactly how long Banks will spend in prison.
The jury found Banks not guilty on five of the charges. He bond has been revoked and he was taken into custody.
The guilty verdict came after four days of grueling, graphic, emotional testimony - most centering around the early morning hours of June 23, 2013, the day an unconscious female student from the dance team was sexually assaulted inside of Gillette Hall on Vanderbilt campus.
Everybody in that room is having fun, it's a good time and they are documenting and recording this(the rape)," Assistant District Attorney Jan Norman said during closing arguments on Thursday morning
