Virginia Tech Running Back Shai McKenzie Suspended After Being Charged With Contributing to Delinquency of a Minor

Virginia Tech running back Shai McKenzie has been suspended indefinitely by the football team, according to the Roanoke Times.

The reason? He has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor child, in regard to an alleged meeting between himself and another Virginia Tech student, and two girls aged 14 and 15.

" Police obtained a warrant for McKenzie and Gavion’s DNA on Feb. 27 after two girls, one 15 years old and another 14, met two adult males using social media, who they later identified as McKenzie and Gavion. "

" The warrant states that an investigation included information that the group met at a home in Christiansburg “and it was revealed” they “had sexual intercourse” between Feb. 11 and Feb. 15. Four condoms were also recovered from the residence, according to the warrant. "

For what it’s worth, McKenzie, 19, has not been charged with a carnal knowledge felony, like his fellow student. The Virginia “Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor” statute, a misdemeanor, applies to consensual sexual acts with a minor of at least 15. The “Carnal Knowledge” felony applies to acts with a minor of 13 or 14.
