Woman sues University of Oregon alleging gang rape from 3 basketball players
(CNN) — A woman who alleges she was gang-raped by three University of Oregon men’s basketball players in March has filed a Title IX lawsuit against the university and head men’s basketball coach Dana Altman.
The civil suit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon.
According to the suit, the woman, a university student, alleges that three Oregon men’s basketball players cornered her in a bathroom in March and gang-raped her multiple times. Prosecutors did not file charges against the men, citing insufficient evidence.
The lawsuit says that Altman knew one of his players, Brandon Austin, had a history of prior sexual misconduct allegations at another school but that Altman recruited him to play for the Ducks anyway. Austin and two of his Ducks’ teammates were dismissed from the team in May. The teammates are not mentioned by name in the lawsuit.
