A&M swimmer found responsible of sexual assault files Title IX lawsuit against university

A Texas A&M men's swim and dive athlete found responsible of sexual assault by the university has filed a Title IX lawsuit against the school, according to a report.

Austin Van Overdam submitted a federal lawsuit against the university, citing "disparate treatment based on sex," according to court records. The suit, which was filed in the Southern District of Texas, states that Van Overdam is requesting a jury trial.

The news was first reported by the Bryan College-Station Eagle.

In June 2017, Van Overdam was found responsible of sexual misconduct by A&M's conduct panel, according to documents shared by the accuser on her Twitter account.
