Shocking details of an alleged rape of a neuroscience student were exposed in court yesterday as two of the four men accused of the 2013 rape at Vanderbilt University attended trial.

Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey are charged with 5 counts each of rape and 2 charges of battery. The there two people originally named in the assault, Brandon Banks and Jaborian “Tip” McKenzie, have decided to testify against Vandenburg & Batey.

The New York Daily News highlighted some of the horrible details from the first day of the trial:

Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey are each charged with five counts of aggravated rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery. Vandenburg also faces additional charges of tampering with evidence and unlawful photography.

Four former players are accused of raping the unconscious female neuroscience student in June 2013, but two will testify in the case. Both defense attorneys warned jurors about the two other former players who are charged in the case: Brandon Banks and Jaborian “Tip” McKenzie are expected to testify against Vandenburg and Batey.

Video appears to show Vandenburg carrying the victim from a car outside the building into the dorm, according to testimony from Vanderbilt University Police Lt. Donnie Harville.

Players were apparently seen on video dragging the unconscious woman down the hall. They giggled, shot video and sent text messages while they sexually abused her in an assault that began in a hallway, the prosecutor alleged.

Thurman described in explicit detail how one former player assaulted her with a water bottle while a teammate egged him on. The prosecutor said one of the players passed out condoms and assaulted her.

And one of the former players urinated on her and made a racial statement, Thurman alleged.

Three of the ex-players are black and one is white. The victim is white.

This is a story that only grows worse as these details become available. Obviously, everyone is innocent until proven guilty but we hope justice is served if these accusations are proven true.
