Two Steubenville, Ohio, high school football players accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl were found delinquent by a judge -- the juvenile court equivalent of guilty – Sunday morning.

Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richardson could serve prison time until they turn 21.

The verdict ended a four-day trial that included tearful testimony from the accuser, who said she was "embarrassed and scared" after hearing about the night she was allegedly sexually assualted while intoxicated, ABC reported.

"I honestly did not know what to think because I didn't remember anything," she testified. The victim pieced together the night's events from Twitter, Instagram photos, a YouTube video, text messages and witnesses.

Prosecutors accused Mays, 17, and Richmond, 16, of penetrating the girl at a drunken party in Steubenville on the night of Aug. 11, 2012, as other teenagers watched. Mays was also accused of later sending text messages that included photographs of the girl with her clothing removed and charged with distributing nude images of a minor.
