BREAKING: Kentucky swim and dive accused of complicity in sexual violence against student athletes

Kentucky swim and dive’s former head coach Lars Jorgensen was accused of sexual violence and harassment by former members of the UK team, per a report from The Athletic.

Jorgensen, who resigned in mid-2023, did so under the guise of other violations including punishment swims and eating practices, with UK quick to release a statement at the time with no reason for his exit being given.
