The trial for one of two former Haskell Indian Nations University students accused of rape began on Monday.

The defendants, a 21-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, are accused of raping a 19-year-old fellow student in a university dormitory on Nov. 15, 2014.

The 20-year-old suspect, whose trial began Monday, faces two felony rape charges and one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy. The 21-year-old suspect faces felony counts of aiding and abetting attempted rape and two counts of rape.

Both men were arrested on Nov. 15, 2014, and released from the Douglas County Jail after posting a $75,000 bond each. Both were expelled from the school after the incident.

Monday the 20-year-old suspect appeared in court. Throughout the day prosecutor Mark Simpson and defense attorney Sarah Swain questioned the pool of prospective jurors before selecting a final group for the trial. Topics of alcohol use, college dormitory life, opinions on law enforcement, rape trials in the national news and criminal histories were all discussed.

Attorneys will begin their opening statements at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The trial is scheduled to last eight days.

The trial for the 21-year-old suspect is scheduled to begin July 25.
