It is the second time the former Utah State University student has been convicted for a string of rapes and attempted rapes. He faces three additional rape trials and one attempted rape trial But the cost of prosecuting this case has left the status of the others uncertain.

"This mistake touches many, and I apologize to Richard Lewis, to the Ohio State Athletic Department and to the entire Ohio State University community for the actions that have caused, such embarrassment."

I'm stili digesting this whole" thing and will decide on how I want to deal with it should further action be necessary."
