Former Vanderbilt player Brandon Vandenburg was found guilty Saturday evening on all counts in the retrial of a 2013 rape case according to The Tennessean.
Vandenburg faced eight counts in all, five for aggravated rape, two for aggravated sexual battery and one for unlawful photography. He will face a prison sentence of 15-to-25 years.
Four former Vanderbilt football players, including Vandenbrug, were charged in the rape of a VU student in June 2013. Vandenburg and Corey Batey were found guilty in a January 2015 trial, but a juror’s later revelation led to it being declared a mistrial. Batey was found guilty a second time in April. Two other players, Jaborian “Tip” McKenzie and Brandon E. Banks, have pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial.
