MSU's Donnie Corley, Josh King, Demetric Vance Charged with Sexual Assault

Michigan State football players Donnie Corley, Josh King and Demetric Vance were each charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct Tuesday.

According to Kyle Austin of MLive.com, "the charges stem from an alleged Jan. 16 incident in an on-campus apartment."

Warrants have been issued for the arrests of the players.

Per Matt Charboneau of the Detroit News, MSU head coach Mark Dantonio announced Tuesday that King, Corley and Vance were all dismissed from the program.

Dantonio later spoke to reporters, saying the players "did not live up to the standards we have outlined for this program." The head coach also said he was "angry" and felt betrayed by his players, noting he felt like "the education was there."

Prior to the their dismissal, all three players were suspended from the team after previously being ruled in violation of the relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy as part of a Title IX investigation, according to Austin.

Per Christopher Haxel, Matt Mencarini and Chris Solari of the Lansing State Journal, Michigan State University Police Department Detective Chad Davis said Tuesday that King is alleged to have lured a woman into a bathroom before forcing her into oral and vaginal sex, while Corley and Vance are alleged to have forced the woman into oral sex as well.

Davis also testified that "a search of King's cell phone revealed an alleged group text message" between the three players along with a "fourth member of the Michigan State football team" that had an exchange "indicating involvement in the assault by King, Corley and Vance," per Austin.

According to Solari, an external probe determined Monday that Dantonio did not violate the school's relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy in his handling of the allegations.

King appeared in nine games at defensive end as a true freshman last season, Corley was the team's second-leading receiver as a true freshman, and Vance redshirted as a freshman in 2016.

If convicted, King, Corley and Vance all face up to 15 years in prison.
