East Lansing District Court records show Donnie Corley Jr. and Josh King -- both 19 -- were arraigned Wednesday. Demetric Vance was arraigned Tuesday.

Preliminary examinations are June 22.

Corley and the 20-year-old Vance are charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct. King is charged with first- and third-degree criminal sexual conduct and with distributing an image of an unclothed person.
