An indictment against Druckenmiller was ordered unsealed tonight by Circuit Judge Ray Grubbs, but the ruling came after the Court Clerk's Office had closed. Apparently even his own lawyers have not seen the indictment.
News 7 has learned, however, that the allegations come from a woman who had sex with Druckenmiller following a night of partying in Blacksburg in early March.
Sources close to the case say there's no dispute... the two had sex, but Druckenmiller says it WAS consensual.

Nonetheless the grand jury returned an indictment against Druckenmiller April 13th.
Druckenmiller is a back-up quarterback with the San Francisco 49-ers.
He played at Virginia Tech for four years before moving on to a professional career.

Investigators have told CBS News that now more than FIFTY bombs have been recovered. And not just simple ones. So sophisticated that police believe the two suspects had help. John Stone, Jefferson County Sheriff: "I don't know how two people could have brought these in here. And this is widening our net in this investigation."
Officials say it could be days before they complete their search of the high school.
The investigation is centering on the library, where 12 students died, including the two apparent killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. It's a massive crime scene, but school officials hope the community can start the healing process and move on... Jane Hammond, School Board official: The students are saying we want to be back together...we want to be in school...we want to be with our teachers.
Attorney General Janet Reno came here to help jump start that healing process. She came to listen to this shattered community, hoping to avert the NEXT school tragedy. She also offered a word of encouragement. Janet Reno, Attorney General: told them that young people had so much to contribute that I was so impressed after six years in this office and young people in America and none more so than the students at Columbine...))
