Former NBA guard Ben McLemore was convicted on Thursday in Clackamas County, Oregon, of first‑degree rape, first‑degree unlawful sexual penetration, and second‑degree sexual abuse stemming from a 2021 lake‑house party incident. The victim, aged 21, testified she was incapacitated from heavy drinking and unable to consent—waking in terror as McLemore assaulted her. After a 11‑day trial and roughly 10 hours of deliberation, the jury delivered the verdict. Sentencing is set for Wednesday, July 9. Prosecutors emphasized that status and fame won’t shield anyone from accountability .
