BLACKSBURG, Va. (SI.com) -- Police searched the apartment of Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick on Wednesday after two teenage girls claimed he had sex with their 15-year-old friend after the trio had been drinking liquor and posing for pictures, The Roanoke Times reported.
Vick, a 19-year-old redshirt sophomore who split time with Bryan Randall at quarterback for the Hokies in 2003, has not been charged with any crime. The case is being investigated as a misdemeanor charge -- contributing to the delinquency of a minor -- according to a search warrant affidavit filed Thursday in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
Joey Showalter, Montgomery County Commonwealth's Attorney, said the investigation was ongoing. "Out of respect for the alleged complainants and the alleged suspects, I cannot comment on the situation," he said.
Two of the three teenagers told police Wednesday that they and a third friend spent Tuesday in Vick's apartment, which he shares with two other players. The girls, ages 14 and 15, said that the trio was given vodka and rum to drink and that a roommate of Vick's took pictures of them as they "danced and stripped from their clothing," according to the affidavit obtained by the Times.
The two girls claimed Vick, at some point in the party, took their 15-year-old friend into his bedroom and had sex with her.
Police searched the apartment Wednesday night, looking for liquor bottles, the digital camera, bedsheets and a condom, according to the affidavit. Paperwork indicating what investigators took from the apartment was not filed with the clerk's office Thursday.
Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker declined to comment on the incident.
Vick is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who also played at Virginia Tech.
