Just posting a copy/pasta of the meat of this piece. It was 5X this long. Between this and the administration basically ignoring the blatant violations of their round hoops coach, a very rosy picture of LSU it painteth not. from ESPN
A
USA Today report on Monday alleges that several
LSU officials had knowledge of sexual assault allegations made against former running back
Derrius Guice and other former football players and either ignored those complaints or denied the victims' requests for protection.
The report also cites three cases in which football players were found responsible for sexual assault and were allowed to stay on campus, receiving deferred suspensions, which amounts to probation.
The report details assault allegations made against former wide receiver
Drake Davis by an LSU tennis player, including the allegation that the victim's tennis coach, Mike Sell, was informed that Davis had punched the woman in the stomach but did not report the assault to the school or the Title IX coordinator. The report states that LSU "sat on the information for months, while Davis continued to assault and strangle her."
In 2018, Davis was arrested on second-degree battery charges and was indefinitely suspended by the team. The arrest warrant said that Davis, who enrolled at Southern University in October 2019, was alleged to have committed battery on a woman he was dating on four occasions over a period of roughly 13 months.
USA Today reports that at least nine football players, including Guice and Davis, have been reported to police for sexual misconduct and dating violence since Ed Orgeron was promoted to interim head coach in 2016. Orgeron was later promoted to full-time head coach, and he led the team to a national championship last season.
