Innocent pleas in Washington State University sorority house rape case

PULLMAN Wash.

A Washington State University student pleaded innocent Friday to a charge of second-degree rape in a sorority house.

Kyle Schott, 23, also pleaded innocent to first-degree burglary, two counts of residential burglary and one count of attempted residential burglary in a case that has drawn widespread attention.

Schott, of Renton, originally was charged with first-degree rape, but the charge was reduced. He is free on $100,000 bail.

An actor featured in dozens of hard-core sex films who also is charged in the case has been released after posting bail.

Christopher Jack Reid, 25, who uses the screen name Jack Venice, entered innocent pleas to charges of second-degree rape, first-degree burglary, attempted residential burglary and two counts of residential burglary during an initial court appearance Wednesday after he surrendered to police.

Reid was released Thursday after posting $200,000 bail and giving a DNA sample, Whitman County jail officials said. His next court date is Oct. 12.
