Baylor faces another Title IX lawsuit over alleged sexual assault by football players

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

A former Baylor volleyball player filed a Title IX lawsuit against the school late Tuesday alleging she was gang raped by as many as eight football players, according to a filing obtained by the Waco Tribune.

The seventh Title IX lawsuit against the school, it alleges as many as eight football players drugged and raped her in 2012.

In March, the school moved to dismiss a Title IX lawsuit that alleged 52 rapes were committed by 31 football players from 2011 to 2014. “Baylor does not agree with or concede the accuracy of plaintiff's 146-paragraph complaint and its immaterial and inflammatory assertions,” that motion said.

Baylor said after this latest filing that it has been in conversations with the victim's lawyers 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 systems," a statement from the university said.
