Once again, a star athlete is involved in a sexual assault case. And again, the athlete’s university is accused of hiding the case.
Peyton Manning headlines a lawsuit filed against the University of Tennessee last Tuesday in Nashville. It accuses the university of violating Title IX regulations, creating a “hostile sexual environment” and interfering with the disciplinary process in favor of male athletes.
The lawsuit claims then-starting quarterback of the Volunteers Peyton Manning placed his naked genitals on the face of his athletic trainer, Dr. Jamie Naughright, while she was examining him for an injury in 1996.
