An Oregon jury on Thursday convicted former NBA guard Ben McLemore of first-degree rape, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration and one count of second-degree sexual abuse. The 32-year-old was acquitted on an additional sexual-abuse count. He will be sentenced on July 9 and faces a mandatory minimum of eight years in prison under state guidelines, according to the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said the assault occurred in the early hours of Oct. 3, 2021 at a lake-front house in Lake Oswego owned by McLemore’s then-Portland Trail Blazers teammate Robert Covington. The 21-year-old victim, who had vomited and passed out after heavy drinking, testified that she drifted in and out of consciousness while McLemore penetrated and raped her on a living-room couch. Defense lawyers argued the encounter was consensual and that both parties were intoxicated, but jurors returned their verdict after roughly 10 hours of deliberation. “This case demonstrates my office prosecutes criminal acts regardless of the offender’s community status,” District Attorney John Wentworth said after the decision. A lottery pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, McLemore played nine seasons with Sacramento, Memphis, Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland before moving to overseas leagues in 2022.
