A jury Friday found a former Utah State University football player guilty of sexually assaulting six women while he was in college.
The jury convicted 25-year-old Torrey Green of five counts of rape, one charge of object rape, a count of forcible sexual abuse and one charge of misdemeanor sexual battery, the
Salt Lake Tribune and
Deseret News reported.
Green broke down in tears as the verdict was read. He was accused of sexually assaulting the women when he was a student at Utah State from 2013 to 2015.
Prosecutor Spencer Walsh said during closing arguments on Thursday in Brigham City that it is impossible that six women who don't know each other could come forward with similar accounts of alleged sexual assault by Green, 25.
Giving evidence earlier this week, Green and told jurors he had consensual sex with four of the women and did not have sex with two other accusers.
He said that he had some regrets about how he treated the women, adding that he should have been more clear that he did not want a serious relationship.
'I wish I didn’t break their hearts. I could have done a better job of letting them know I didn’t want to be in a lasting relationship, and I’m sorry for that.’
Green also said he regrets having numerous lovers in college. ‘Looking back, I’ve matured a lot,’ he said. ‘It’s not a good thing. It’s not a good look. It’s no good.’
Green's attorney Skye Lazaro countered that Green had consensual sex with four of the women and that two encounters never happened.
Lazaro told the jury that 'hooking up' with women and having one-night stands isn't illegal.
Green was waived by the Atlanta Falcons during training camp in 2016, when the team learned of the allegations against him.
