Former University of Nebraska basketball player says she was groomed by a coach for sexual relationship
Former University of Nebraska basketball player Ashley Scoggin sued the school, saying officials should have protected her from being groomed by an assistant coach.
A former University of Nebraska basketball player filed suit against the school, saying athletic department officials should have done more to protect her from being groomed by an assistant coach.
Ashley Scoggin named the school’s board of regents, coach Amy Williams, athletic director Trev Alberts and former assistant coach Chuck Love Jr. as defendants in her federal lawsuit.
“The University was made aware of the lawsuit Monday morning,” University of Nebraska spokesperson Melissa Lee said in a statement to NBC News on Tuesday. Lee said the statement was on behalf of the school, Williams and Albert.
“While the University does not comment on the specifics of pending litigation, it does not agree with the allegations contained in the complaint and intends to vigorously defend this matter.”
Love did not immediately return messages left at multiple, publicly listed phone numbers for him on Tuesday.
