An Ohio woman has sued Buffalo Bills first-round draft pick Maxwell Hairston, accusing him of sexually assaulting her in 2021 when they both attended the University of Kentucky.

According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday, Hairston met the woman, who identified herself as Rebecca Hendryx, in early 2021 when they were living in the same dorm.

That March, the lawsuit alleges, Hairston went to Hendryx's room without being invited and followed her into her room after she declined to hang out with him. After Hendryx "[expressed] ... her non-interest in engaging in sexual intercourse with him several times," Hairston "forcefully removed" her pajama shorts and sexually assaulted her, according to the lawsuit.
