DENVER (AP) -- A woman who says she was raped by a classmate who later was tied to a sex-and-drugs scandal at the University of Colorado is asking the Colorado Supreme Court to review her case.

Julie Stene says two classmates, one of whom later played football for CU, had sex with her after she had shots of vodka at a high school graduation party in 2000.

Stene, who has agreed to be publicly identified, initially didn't want to testify, and no criminal charges were filed.

After Stene changed her mind, a judge ordered District Attorney Carol Chambers to name a special prosecutor to file charges. The Colorado Court of Appeals overturned the order.

In arguments filed Monday with the Colorado Supreme Court, Stene challenged the appeals court's decision.
