A Detroit University lacrosse player wept and his family shouted their displeasure with the verdict after a jury convicted him Friday of raping a young woman.

Patrick Walsh, 22, appeared stunned and then distraught when the jury returned its guilty verdict after a day of deliberations, concluding he sexually assaulted the woman, who was just shy of her 20th birthday in May 2016.

Walsh’s family shouted, “How? How?” as his mother and both older sisters shivered, crying as they hunched over in their seats.

Justice Kelly Byrne ordered the emotional family to stop or they’d have to leave immediately.

The victim testified she was raped by Walsh, a man she barely knew, after bumping into him at an Irish pub in the Entertainment District. She said he mentioned they had met at a party a year earlier.

Walsh told the first-year university student he and his buddies were heading to his mom’s place a short walking distance away to continue partying away from the loud, crowded bar.
