Former WSU quarterback Jason Gesser resigned as assistant athletic director at Washington State University on Tuesday just one day after new allegations of sexual misconduct against him surfaced.
Alyssa Wold-Bodeau, a former WSU volleyball player, told The Daily Evergreen on Monday that Gesser groped her and tried forcefully to kiss her after the two attended a fundraising event in 2015. Wold-Bodeau filed her formal complaint just four days after Gesser was cleared of similar allegations by a WSU investigation.
Gesser, 39, was placed on leave pending a full investigation following Wold-Bodeau's complaint. The university said it was the first time that an individual who was directly involved in an alleged incident of sexual misconduct had filed a formal complaint against Gesser with the Office for Equal Opportunity.
