Sexual Assault Scandal

Suit that alleged former BU volleyball player was gang-raped settled, KWTX, A lawsuit in which a former Baylor volleyball player alleged she was gang-raped by at least four and possibly as many as eight football players in 2012 has been settled.

More than 60 subpoenas have been delivered within a Baylor Title IX lawsuit, WacoTrib, Lawyers representing 10 alleged sexual assault victims suing Baylor University have subpoenaed more than 60 people affiliated with the school at some point, adding fuel to a Title IX lawsuit.

The only people supposedly held accountable were paid up to $15 million (such as Briles). That’s extreme. That’s just my response to that. It ought to offend anyone, whether they have a connection with Baylor at all, that we have an institution with decades of suppressing rape at their university.”
