CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST FLORIDA COLLEGE STUDENTS ACC– USED OF RAPE

Charges have been dropped against two University of Central Florida students who were accused of gang-raping a woman at a frat party.

David Anthony Kirk, 20, and Jack Ryan Smith, 26, were both facing serious jail time after getting arrested back in April for sexual battery. The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers were at an off-campus party house for a throwdown known as the “Meat Factory” when the alleged assault occurred, according to the police report.

The victim claimed she had been drinking heavily when Smith and Kirk took her inside a bedroom and began raping her.

Kirk and Smith were arrested a few days later after an ATO member found out about the alleged rape and encouraged the woman to contact authorities.

Prosecutors, however, weren’t presented enough evidence to pursue charges and officially decided to drop the case. The Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office filed a notice saying it was “not suitable for prosecution,” but provided no other details.

Kirk and Smith had been claiming for weeks they were innocent and the alleged victim was just embarrassed because she was caught having sex with two guys.
