Aggies recruit charged with raping 13-year-old girl
New Mexico State University has pulled the scholarship for incoming WR Cornell Burbage II following his
arrest on charges of raping a 13-year-old girl.
Burbage is charged with second-degree rape and two counts of second-degree sodomy -- felonies that carry a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison, said Lt. James Curless of the Lexington Police Department. Curless said the girl checked herself in to St. Joseph East Hospital Sunday for a rape examination. It was after that exam, which typically includes a DNA test, that police identified Burbage as a suspect. Curless declined to say whether any physical evidence collected implicated Burbage.
