Complainant Refutes Claim that Mizzou Cleared Terrence Phillips of All Allegations in Title IX Probe

Former Mizzou basketball player Terrence Phillips released a lengthy statement on July 26 claiming that the University of Missouri's Title IX investigation into allegations of rape, stalking and inappropriate sexual conduct was finished. Phillips claimed that he was cleared of the most serious allegations against him and was only found responsible in one incident where he pushed his then-girlfriend in October of 2016.

Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported on Tuesday that Phillips statement wasn't entirely true.

"A woman who filed a Title IX complaint against Phillips last year received an email from the university in June saying the school found Phillips responsible for violating Section 3 of its policy on Sex Discrimination, Sexual Harrassment and Sexual Misconduct in Education.
