Judge orders trial in football sex assault case in Oklahoma
TULSA, Okla. – A judge has ordered four former Oklahoma high school football players accused of sexual assault to go to trial.
A trial was ordered Tuesday after a preliminary hearing where Tulsa County Special Judge April Seibert ruled probable cause existed that a crime occurred.
The Bixby High School students are accused in an attack on a 16-year-old boy with a pool cue last summer that was captured on cellphone video. They have each pleaded not guilty to second-degree rape by instrumentation.
Seibert has not ruled on defence motions to move the case to juvenile court. Another hearing in the case is scheduled for Aug. 4.
