Former USU football player Torrey Green appears for initial hearing
Former Utah State University football player Torrey Green appeared for his initial hearing in the Cache County First District Court on Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. in front of Judge Thomas L. Wilmore.
The judge and attorney decided to hold Green in jail on a “no bail” status in the Cache County Jail. The bail hearing is set for Dec. 13, where the judge will decide on the possibility of Green posting bail.
Cache County Attorney James Swink said he “feels Green is a threat to society and should not be released from custody.”
Green was arrested on five charges, but nine women initially made reports against him. Not all reports moved forward in the prosecution process.
The Cache County Attorney’s office initially received nine reports filed against Green. Five of the reports have been charged against him, two victims have chosen not to move forward with prosecution, one did not show sufficient evidence and one is still under investigation.
“We respect the rights of the two victims who chose not to move forward with the prosecuting process,” Swink said.
Swink said “hundreds of hours have been spent investigating these cases and I’d like to express appreciation to victims’ services for their help in keeping the victims informed.”
Skye Lazaro, an attorney from Salt Lake City, is representing Green.
The case is still under active investigation.
Sufficient evidence has not been discovered for either side to argue the case yet, “which is why the bail hearing was set for December,” Lazaro said.
Lazaro said it is too soon to comment on Green’s defensive strategies.
“Both sides are still putting their cases together,” she said.
The state will provide witnesses at the bail hearing.

Always great reporting, and right to the point. Thanks for keeping us updated on this important case.
This is very difficult to beleive, i understand college kids get Drunk & do stuff’.. They regret ! Most simply do the walk of SHAME… Others, are so embarassed & asshamed!! that they quit often find it Easier’ to blame the guy w. Rape & look like a victim, blaming him for getting her Drunk’ instead of accepting accountability herself, they say He got me DRUNK & took advantage of me? SHAME… Bye friends, boyfriends.. Friends.. Often CONVINCE, girls that they were VICTIMS ?? To many girls show up YEARS Later, just to get the attention??? & the D.A. convinces them its the right thing to do?? Building a case, on false accusations happens all the time w. Aggressive D.A.’s. Unfortunately the try to create a CASE..out of NOTHING ?? Ruining a mans Career & life ???? Making something’ out of nothing, isnt impossible, if you try gard enough !
But; these Cases are simply HE SAID.. She said.. Nothing more ! Greens attorney’s .. The Salt Lake (Dream team) are going to CLOSE these cases..DOWN ! & lotsa people are going to Jail…& paying..$ big BUCKS ! Logan is going to go BROKE..after this case.
The. D.R.E.A.M. T.E.A.M. is going to own Logan Utah ! & filing false charges agsinst athletes just because your embarassed, shamed into it’ angry..Vindictive.. Or coached is simply against the LAW. These girls may spend MORE time behind bars then mr. Green. Fabricating evidence is Very illegal.. & the best thing Logan can do is cutt him loose & hope’….just HOPE…he does’nt SUE..$… These cases are so transparent & obvious, its just shameful, racist.. & vicious reckless police work.
So’ 2- charges then..?
9- allegations. Then only
5 charges… Next week ? back down to 3 charges..? (Really) or ZERO..?
The college investigated the original allegations: Denied !
Local Law enforcement: Denied..
Then a rich local fat cat gets involved & angry… Lights a fire under the sheriffs dept. & D.A.’s office. & We have a lynch mob ? Thirsty newspapers like salt lake tribune, keep re-posting false allegations until it becomes real in the publics eye? Even before charges ?
Its not going to CHANGE the facts !
This is a good kid, he has kept silent, only because; his parents have taught him to have faith in GOD ! Its amazing to me how people, can’t see right thru these allegations ? Especially those that know mr. Torrey green personally. Just Shameful’ that thirsty , vindictive Women can come foreward, a year later ?? After hes become a N.F.L. Celeb’ we call them attn: wh___ or media who..’s
WOMEN need to start being accountable for there OWN Choices
Good & badd & stop doing DRUGS & putting yourself in the position of regret … Be
Madd at yourself & make better CHOICES. STOP trying to Ruin other peoples lives, simply because your not happy w. Your own. Torrey turned himself into law enforecement after he was contacted. His conscience is clear’
These colleges have got to STOP Focusing on athletes as if they are the ONLY..PROBLEM ? It takes 2
