Former college athlete sentenced for sexual assaults
A former Utah State University football player convicted of sexually assaulting six women has been sentenced to 26 years to life in prison.
Most of the sentences imposed Wednesday by District Judge Brian Cannell for Torrey Green will run consecutively, with some to run concurrently.
The women made similar allegations of being assaulted by Green while on dates with him, and jurors convicted him in January of crimes that included raping five women and sexual battery of a sixth.
Green denied the allegations, testifying during the trial that the sexual encounters either were consensual or didn’t happen.
Cannell said during the sentencing in Brigham City that Green is a serial rapist who didn’t show remorse.
Cannell also said he believed the accusers and he thanked them for their courage.
