Trial starting in false-rape case involving football players


Prosecutors and defense lawyers will be in court Monday to argue over whether some evidence and testimony should be excluded from the trial. Yovino was a student at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield when police say she reported being raped by two Sacred Heart football players at an off-campus party in Bridgeport in October 2016. Ryan O'Neill, the woman's attorney, said she told police the football players had sex with her against her will but never used the terms rape or sexual assault. The football players were never criminally charged, but both withdrew from the school as they faced possible disciplinary action based. The football players' names have not been released by police but are expected to be disclosed when they testify at the trial, their lawyer said.
