Star running back among teens charged with aggravated rape

Jocques Crawford, 17; his brother, Xavier Crawford, 17; and Randy Harvey, 15, were taken into custody Tuesday in connection with the Aug. 1 incident, said Juvenile Court chief probation officer Barry Mitchell.

A victim told officials she was forced to perform oral sex on the three teens, authorities said.

The three boys had a detention hearing — the juvenile equivalent of an arraignment — Wednesday, according to Jennifer Donnals of the district attorney general’s office.

Jocques Crawford is a son of former prep football star Xavier ‘X-Man’ Crawford and is considered one of the top running backs in the Memphis area. He has scholarship offers from Arkansas, Clemson, Louisville, Memphis, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, North Carolina and Northwestern.
