A 17-year-old student at a prestigious Georgia school sexually assaulted a teammate in the gym showers, police said.

William Jackson Houk, a varsity football player at Westminster School, turned himself in to Atlanta police on Sunday and has been charged with aggravated sexual battery.

Specifics relating to the October 22 incident remain unknown, with the school's president describing details as being 'fuzzy'.

Aggravated sexual battery is one of the state's 'seven deadly sins' for 13 to 17-year olds that came into effect in 1994 and means offenders must be tried as an adult.

It carries a penalty of 25 years to life in prison.

In what world should something like that be sentenced on the same level as committing a mass murder?

What an idiot. There is no excuse for such behavior. As hot as it sounds for two guys to be getting it on in the shower, rape is way out of bounds.

He's good looking enough that he could easily have found a willing sex partner. Stupid now he is branded a sex offender and that scarlet letter will never go away.

What a tragedy all around. But why would anyone have pressed charges?

Probably because the guy he forced himself on did not want to do it and told him so; but he didn't stop. If someone forced me to have sex, I would file charges as well.
