Jason Gesser resigns as Washington State assistant AD amid new allegations of sexual misconduct

Jason Gesser has resigned as assistant athletic director at Washington State University, effective immediately, following new allegations of sexual misconduct against him by a former WSU volleyball player.

Alyssa Wold-Bodeau, who played volleyball for the Cougars from 2012 to '13, 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.

The allegations came just four days after Gesser was cleared of similar allegations by a university investigation.

"I am deeply saddened that recent circumstances in my private life have created a distraction for the Department and the University," Gesser said in a letter of resignation that was made public.
