Suspended USC football player faces trial on rape charges
SALT LAKE CITY — A judge on Monday ordered a suspended University of Southern California football player to stand trial on rape charges after a 19-year-old woman said marijuana and alcohol left her nearly unable to move during the attack following a summertime party in Utah.
She testified that the sexual assault left her scared, helpless and injured, while Utah prosecutors laid out evidence against Osa Masina, 19 at the same hearing.
The Utah native also has been investigated on similar allegations involving the same woman in California, but criminal charges have not been filed in that case.
