Three former Michigan State football players reach pleas in sexual assault case, may avoid jail time

LANSING - A trio of former Michigan State football players facing sexual assault charges agreed to plea deals for lesser charges that will allow them to potentially avoid jail time.

Josh King, Donnie Corley and Demetric Vance, all pleaded guilty to a felony charge of seduction - a law that dates back to at least the 1930s. The law states the punishment is for "any man who shall seduce and debauch any unmarried woman."

King, Corley and Vance, who faced charges related to an incident in January 2017 at an East Lansing apartment, all agreed to plea deals in Ingham County Circuit Court on Wednesday morning in front of Judge Rosemarie Aquilina.
