Brandon Banks, the third former Vanderbilt football player to go to trial for a 2013 rape, was found guilty of two of seven charges on Friday, WKRN reports. He was found guilty of one count of aggravated rape and one count of aggravated sexual battery, which could get him 15 years in prison. The Tennessean reports that lawyer Mark Scruggs will ask the judge to consider whether the jury’s verdicts were inconsistent in the case, claiming that jurors did not understand the “aggravated element” of the charges.
