Former Illinois Football Player Convicted of Rape

A former University of Illinois football player has been convicted in a 1995 rape and could be headed to prison for as long as 90 years.

A jury in Urbana on Wednesday convicted 42-year-old Steven Feagin of aggravated criminal sexual assault. The victim was a 22-year-old student who was raped in her apartment near the university campus in Urbana.

Feagin will be sentenced in July. He was convicted of 3 separate acts and faces up to 30 years in prison for each.

Feagin still faces charges in two other 1990s rapes in Champaign County.

He was a running back on the Illinois football team while in school from 1989 through 1992.

Feagin was arrested in Florida in 2008 based on DNA evidence.
