— -- A new defense filing in the case involving rape charges against four former  Vanderbilt players claims that current Penn State coach James Franklin contacted the alleged victim shortly after the incident.

Prosecutors also have made serious allegations against the defense. They accused one of Vandenburg's attorneys of causing evidence to be destroyed and one prosecutor called the defense attorney an unindicted co-conspirator.
