Jury: OSU player guilty of rape by instrumentation
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - A suspended Oklahoma State basketball player accused of sexually assaulting two women at a house party has been convicted on three of the five counts he faced.
Jurors late Monday convicted Darrell Williams on two counts of rape by instrumentation and one count of sexual assault. He was acquitted on two other counts of rape by instrumentation.
Two women testified that Williams sexually assaulted them at the party in December 2010. They identified Williams as their attacker after police showed them a photo of the Cowboys basketball team.
Witnesses testified that several players at the party wore similar Oklahoma State warm-up suits, and defense attorneys claimed that could have led to a misidentification.
Before he was suspended in February 2011, Williams led the team in rebounding and averaged 7.1 points per game.
