Lawsuit Alleges 52 Rapes by Football Players in 4 Years
A Baylor University graduate who says she was raped by football players in 2013 sued the university Friday. Her lawsuit includes an allegation that 31 Baylor football players committed at least 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, between 2011 and 2014 -- an estimate that far exceeds the number previously provided by school officials.

The lawsuit describes a culture of sexual violence under former Baylor football coach Art Briles, in which the school implemented a "show 'em a good time" policy that "used sex to sell" the football program to recruits. That included escorting underage recruits to strip clubs and arranging women to have sex with prospective players, the suit alleges.
Former assistant coach Kendal Briles -- the son of the head coach -- once told a Dallas area student athlete, "Do you like white women? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they love football players," according to the suit.

Baylor did not investigate -- as required by Title IX, the federal law that instructs universities to proactively protect students from sexual violence and hostility -- for more than two years, according to the lawsuit and a report by ESPN.
