Ex-USC RB, AD Mike Garrett faces sexual harassment lawsuit

Former USC athletics director and 1965 Heisman Trophy winner Mike Garrett is accused of sexually harassing multiple female employees during his stint as AD at Cal State Los Angeles, according to several media outlets.

A lawsuit was filed by Dr. Sheila Hudson, a senior associate athletic director at the school.

The complaint says that Garrett called women who worked in the athletics department names, such "Sweetheart," "Love," "Babe" and referred to one woman specifically as "Legs."

The lawsuit also says that Garrett told a student assistant, "I could kiss you," and added that Garrett was "essentially computer illiterate" and unfit to serve as AD.
