A former Baylor University volleyball player has filed a Title IX lawsuit against the school claiming she was gang raped by Baylor football players.
The woman referred to in the lawsuit as Jane Doe says she was brutally raped by at least four and as many as eight Baylor football players after a party in 2012. The woman’s mother said she met with a Baylor Assistant football coach at a local restaurant about the incident. According to the lawsuit, the woman was harassed by football players and her apartment was robbed by members of the football team.
The lawsuit claims that the Universities failure to appropriately investigate assaults increased the chance of other sexual assaults.
Baylor University released the following statement in regards to the lawsuit:
The alleged incident outlined in the court filing occurred more than five years ago, and Baylor University has been in conversations with the victim’s legal counsel for many months in an attempt to reach an amicable resolution.
“Baylor has since initiated and structurally completed 105 wide-ranging recommendations in response to issues of sexual violence within our campus community, in addition to making changes within the University and athletics leadership and investing significantly in student support services.
