UPDATE: A brief article from Murphy.
"I have decided to authorize sexual assault charges against the three persons whose warrants were requested by the MSU Police," prosecutor Carol Siemon said. "We are alleging that on the night of January 16, those three persons sexually assaulted a woman in an East Lansing apartment on campus."
The players have not yet been named.
UPDATE 2: Names likely to be released tomorrow:
Prosecutor's office says it doesn't release names until people are arraigned. Arraignments are expected to come tomorrow.

I wouldn't say Josh King is a player of lesser value, he was their top recruit in 2016 and looked promising in the playing time he got last year. Also, DL is a position of need on that team given their lack of depth.
Anticipated charges: One person will face Criminal Sexual Conduct (CSC) 1, CSC 3 and Felony Videotaping. Two others will face CSC 3 charges. Max penalty for CSC 1 is life in prison; CSC 3, maximum is 15 years.
Oh. my. god.
do you anticipate the arrests to occur today/details revealed?
Expected to be arraigned today though. We shall see.
An East Lansing judge signed arrest warrants for Donnie Corley, Josh King and Demetric Vance this morning for sexual assault charges.
And here...we...go.
But do you expect some sort of plea deal to be worked out? Those are some serious charges.
