Today was sentencing day for a former Lexington Catholic High School football star who pleaded guilty to raping a young teen.

Cornell Burbage pleaded guilty last year to second degree rape and sodomy charges.

Today, he was sentenced for those crimes.

Investigators say his victim was a 13-year old girl.

Before his arrest, Burbage was recruited by New Mexico State.

There's no word yet on how long Burbage will spend behind bars for the crime.

Um hello, He pleaded guilty to rape and sodomy. Dosent that mean any thing to you. why would you take a chance on loosing everything you have for this little girl (that you claimed was not raped), if it didnt happen. You need to grow up and face the facts.
