Court Alerts
A Washington State University student accused of attacking a woman in a sorority pleaded not guilty to rape and burglary charges.
Twenty-three-year-old Kyle Schott of Renton had been charged with first-degree rape, but the charge was reduced to second-degree.
Whitman County Superior Court documents say Schott and another man broke into the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority September 13th and attacked a woman as she slept.
Prosecutors say Schott watched while Christopher Reid performed sex acts on the woman. The two fled when she awoke. They are also accused of breaking into two other WSU sororities the same night.
Reid pleaded not guilty Wednesday to burglary and rape charges. The 25-year-old Los Angeles man performs in porno films under the name Jack Venice.
