(Mediaite) According to a report in the Tennessean, former Vanderbilt football player and convicted rapist Cory Batey — who was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison — said that the motive for his crime was a payback for slavery.
“That’s for 400 years of slavery you b—-,” Batey said during the rape, according to multiple Tennessean sources. The story says that prosecutors acknowledged a racial statement was made, but it was never mentioned in open court.
