Ex-Lacrosse Player Sues Northwestern Over Alleged Mishandling of Sexual Assault Case

The latest lawsuit against Northwestern University has nothing to do with football or hazing. It comes from a student who’s a former member of the women’s lacrosse team.

In the suit, the woman – identified as Jane Doe – says a current member of the Northwestern baseball team raped her in July 2022, and when she reported it, the university failed to take meaningful action.

The lawsuit accuses the University and its Board of Trustees of negligence and violating Title IX.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court Wednesday, accuses Northwestern of admitting the player despite receiving and reading emails from six individuals who appear to be former classmates of his, warning them of his previous behavior. The emails all describe instances of sexual abuse, including one alleged interchange between former faculty and the player’s mother.
