Four Men Face Rape Charge in Tallahassee Case
Four white men are to be formally charged in Tallahassee with raping a Florida A and M student. Names identified include Patrick Scarborough, William Collinsworth, David Ervin Bagies, and Ollie Stoutamire. Prosecution seeks no bail until case referral to the grand jury. The crime, involving a 19 year old, draws renewed calls for vigorous prosecution. The state's death penalty looms but has never been applied for white assailants in such cases.
