A rarely convened state grand jury indicted four former Brigham Young University football players Thursday in connection with the alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old girl in August.
Utah County prosecutors also filed charges against two other former players
involved in the incident, which allegedly occurred at the off-campus apartment of two of the suspects.
The grand-jury indictment charges B.J. Mathis, William Turner Jr., Karland
Bennett and Ibrahim Rashada with two counts of aggravated sexual assault, a
first-degree felony; one count of obstruction of justice, a second-degree
felony; and one count of dealing harmful material to a minor, a third-degree
felony.
