Duke rape suspect
also involved in gay-bashing case

One of the two Duke University lacrosse players arrested in Durham, N.C., on Tuesday for kidnapping and raping a stripper was also one of the three college lacrosse players arrested last November for an alleged gay bashing in Washington, D.C.

Collin Finnerty, 22, along with a Georgetown lacrosse player and a former Providence College lacrosse player, were arrested on November 5 and charged with simple assault. The victim said the three started beating him when he objected to their calling him "gay" for no apparent reason. Finnerty was given 25 hours of community service, and the court said the charges would be dropped if he performed the service and avoided further arrests. (Sirius/OutQ News)
