Jurors in the rape trial of two ex-Vanderbilt football players have been shown graphic videos of the alleged attack on the campus.

A detective testified Monday that one of the former players attached the videos in text messages sent to friends in California.

Four former football players are accused in the rape of an unconscious coed in a dorm room at the Nashville school in June 2013. All have pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors say ex-players used their cell phones to take pictures and videos during the incident.

Laughter could be heard on one of the videos played. The detective testified that it was footage taken in the dorm room showing the woman being violated.

Former players Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey are being tried this week for rape.
