WASHINGTON -- One of the Duke University lacrosse players charged with rape in North Carolina was convicted of misdemeanor assault in the District on Tuesday.
Collin Finnerty, of Garden City, N.Y., was charged in connection with a Nov. 5 assault in front of the Daily Grill in Georgetown, police said. He and two others were accused of punching a man after he told them to stop calling him gay.
Finnerty was sentenced to six months of probation and ordered to pay $500 in court costs. Judge John Baily also ordered Finnerty to undergo drug and alcohol counseling if required by probation officers. He must also remain fully enrolled in school or employed and stay out of Georgetown and out of all bars while he's on probation...

On Monday, Bloxsom told the judge that the attack was unprovoked and he and his friend tried to do what they could to diffuse the situation, including agreeing with crude homophobic names used to taunt them, News4's Jane Watrel reported.
Scott Herndon, 27, of Arlington, also was assaulted. He testified that the suspects surrounded them, pushing, shoving and taunting the pair. Herndon testified that after Finnerty hit Bloxsom, Herndon grabbed Finnerty by the waist.
"I was hit several times in the back of the head and knocked to the ground," he said. "Someone had the back of my shirt and ripped the shirt off me."
