2 Santa Ana College players charged with rape - International Herald Tribune

SANTA ANA, Calif.: Two Santa Ana College football players and a friend have been charged with raping and assaulting an 18-year-old woman while she lay unconscious in an Orange County hotel room.

Freshman running back Michael Clemmons, 19, and sophomore wide receiver Luster Lewis, 20, were arrested this week after someone found a 19-minute video the players made of the assault, the Orange County district attorney's office said Friday.

John Paul Foster II, 22, is also accused of helping the players repeatedly rape the victim in July after she passed out at a party at a hotel in Tustin.

The three men each pleaded not guilty to six counts of rape and sexual assault and were being held Friday on $100,000 bail.

Foster was arrested Monday, Clemmons on Tuesday and Lewis surrendered Friday.

Attorneys for Foster and Clemmons could not be immediately reached. A message left with Lewis' attorney was not immediately returned.

Jason Kehler, sports information coordinator for Santa Ana College, said he was not aware of the charges because the school was closed for the holidays.
