A star high school quarterback is in trouble tonight for a shocking rape case. Authorities in Maury County have charged Mt. Pleasant High Quarterback Princeton Harlan and 2 other teens with raping a child. This really is a shocking case for people there, not just because of who's charged, but because of how young the victim is. She's only 12, and authorities say all 3 teens had sex with her in July. Because he's 18, Princeton Harlan is the only one authorities are naming. The other 2 are 16 and 17 years old, and possibly members of the football team as well. Investigators say they first learned of the case when the victim told her mother she thought she was pregnant. As it turns out, she was. The investigation into that lead to rape charges for all 3 teens and shock for the small community.
"What happened?" asks Maria Bates. "Where's the disconnect? What happened? Why would she be associated with these older boys anyways? I know our daughter would never be in a situation like that."
Authorities would not elaborate on what lead to these alleged rapes, but they do point out none of the teens are charged with forcible rape. Princeton Harlan is now out on $100,000 bond.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, is visiting Tennessee to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's awards.
The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion in Nashville on Thursday for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.
About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.
Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
