MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Vikings cornerback Fred Smoot and tackle Bryant McKinnie will go on trial on charges stemming from a boat-party sex scandal.
Smoot's trial is scheduled to begin May 30 while McKinnie's is slated for July 7. Both players are charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct, indecent conduct, and lewd and lascivious behavior. Neither player appeared in court Wednesday for a hearing that was expected to deal with defense motions to dismiss charges.
Last month, former Vikings running back Moe Williams was convicted of disorderly conduct in connection with the cruise. Similar charges against former Minnesota quarterback Daunte Culpepper were dismissed.
In Williams' trial, the prosecution described the Oct. 6 cruise as a raunchy party in which women on the boat changed into thong underwear and bras, gave players lap dances and, in some cases, stripped naked.

OMG... Somebody call the Ayatola's, quick!
Can someone... anyone... explain why this is a problem? Wasn't this a private party? So what? Who was harmed? What's the crime? From what I can see, the only people these players should need to answer to is their wives.
Apparently, there isn't much crime in MN if the DA's can waste the taxpayer's money on crap like this.

Funny how it says that neither player was even in Court yesterday to enter a plea. I've heard of a plea "in absentia" for m/v cases, but not for cases like this.

Smoot was charged with using a sex toy on two female dancers in front of crew members during the cruise on Lake Minnetonka on Oct. 5. McKinnie had been accused of performing oral sex on a dancer in a public area of the boat.
No comment.

Innocent in the eyes of the law? ... just a doubtful maybe
Innocent in the eyes of his wife? ... Are you kidding?
