LIVE: Banks Sentenced In Vanderbilt Rape Case
A jury found Banks guilty of rape and sexual battery back in June for his part in the 2013 rape of a female student in a campus dorm. The jury found Banks not guilty on five of the charges.
During his trial, Banks testified he was bullied into participating. Prosecutors dismissed the claim as an excuse made up because there was video evidence.
A letter from the victim was read during the sentencing hearing. Banks' father was among four people who testified on his behalf Friday.
Two other ex-players also were convicted and sentenced to 15 and 17 years in prison. A fourth ex-player awaits trial after testifying against the others.
Banks faced a minimum of 15 years in prison with a maximum 25-year sentence.
