A 19-year-old MSU student was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct on Friday.

Mark Miller faces 15 years in prison if convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involves penetration with force or coercion.

He is scheduled for a preliminary exam on March 31 at East Lansing's 54-B District Court.

A 19-year-old female MSU student reported being sexually assaulted in Miller's West Shaw Hall room between 1 and 1:30 a.m. Feb. 26, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.

But Miller, a crop and soil sciences sophomore, told police the sex was consensual, McGlothian-Taylor said.

Miller said he has been kicked out of his dorm room, but would not comment further.

Miller's attorney could not be reached for comment on Monday.

The two students, who previously dated, had been drinking at a party earlier that night, McGlothian-Taylor said the woman stated in a police report.

They then returned to Miller's room, where the woman had planned on staying the night, McGlothian-Taylor said.

While they were in Miller's bed, he wanted to have sex, but the woman told him she did not want to, according to her statement in the police report.

But when police interviewed Miller two days after the incident, he said the sex was consensual and he stopped when she said "no."

The woman went to Lansing's Sparrow Hospital, where a rape evidence kit was performed.

The original police report stated that the woman might have had a few scratches on her lower back, McGlothian-Taylor said.
