Former Baylor football coach Art Briles said in a legal filing Friday in a lawsuit against him that he was unaware that six female Baylor students had independently told a school judicial officer they had been sexually assaulted by former Baylor player Tevin Elliott, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Monday.
Briles faces a negligence claim by Jasmin Hernandez, a former Baylor student who was raped by Elliott. She has given media outlets permission to use her name. Elliott was convicted in 2014 and is serving a 20-year prison sentence for raping Hernandez in 2012.
“We want to be sensitive to any anguish or pain that anyone sustained,” Mark Lanier, Briles’ Houston attorney, told the Tribune-Herald.
