Report: LSU Repeatedly Neglected Sexual Misconduct Complaints Involving Athletes

LSU has reportedly failed to adequately handle complaints of sexual misconduct against football players, with at least nine players being reported to the police since Ed Orgeron became the head coach in 2016, according to Kenny Jacoby, Nancy Armour and Jessica Luther of USA Today.

Running back Derrius Guice was twice accused of rape and once accused of taking and sharing a lewd photograph, but school officials "either doubted the women's stories, didn't investigate or didn't call the police."

LSU officials reportedly also failed to take action against non-athletes who were found responsible of sexual assault.
