Michigan State's Donnie Corley, Josh King, Demetric Vance charged with sexual assault
Arrest warrants for third degree criminal sexual conduct for all three were issued on Tuesday morning in 54-B District Court in East Lansing, following a hearing in front of Judge Richard D. Ball. Michigan State University police officer Chad Davis provided testimony.
Third degree criminal sexual conduct is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
The charges stem from an alleged Jan. 16 incident in an on-campus apartment, and come after a four-month investigation by the Michigan State University Police.
Corley came to East Lansing as a celebrated four-star wide receiver, after leading Detroit King to a state championship in 2015.
He played in all 12 games as a true freshman, and was one of only two to play in the team's season opener. He finished second on the team in receiving yards, with 453, plus third in catches with 33 and third in touchdowns with three.
He also added defensive duties partway through the season, debuting as a cornerback against Michigan. He also had brief duties as a return man.
As a sophomore, Corley is slated to be the team's leading returning wide receiver and the most dynamic member of a young but talented group.
King was another one of nine true freshmen to play for the Spartans in 2016. He made his debut in the third game of the year, against Wisconsin, and finished with nine games under his belt, including two starts at defensive end late in the year.
The highest-rated prospect of the program's 2016 recruiting class, King recorded 10 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in 2016. He is expected to compete for a starting job this fall.
Vance came to Michigan State from Cass Tech as a four-star recruit in the school's 2016 recruiting class. He redshirted in his true freshman season.
