Baylor University filed a motion Tuesday to dismiss a Title IX lawsuit that was filed against the school in January, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald's Phillip Ericksen.

Ericksen reported Baylor "said the plaintiff's allegations are barred by a two-year statute of limitations" and that her allegations did not meet the standard of "deliberate indifference."

The lawsuit was filed anonymously by a plaintiff listed as "Elizabeth Doe."

According to the Dallas Morning News' Sarah Mervosh, Doe—who said she was gang-raped in April 2013 by football players Tre'Von Armstead and Shamycheal Chatman—also alleged "31 Baylor football players committed at least 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, between 2011 and 2014.
