Vandy rape case filing: Florida woman bought drinks for players

Monday, June 23, 2014

A new court filing accuses a Florida woman of regularly buying alcohol for Vanderbilt University athletes at the Tin Roof bar - including the unconscious student police say was raped a year ago today.

The filing, submitted to the court Monday afternoon by attorneys for Brandon Vandenburg, provides a laundry list of evidence they say has been withheld or destroyed by prosecutors. They also contain new details of evidence purportedly detailing the actions of players, coaches and the victim.

"We've alleged all along from the start of this that the prosecution has held back evidence that they don't want to see that's exculpatory," said one of Vandenburg's attorneys, Albert Perez Jr. "This latest reply that we filed shows that."
