The University of Oregon and men's basketball coach Dana Altman were sued Thursday afternoon by the alleged victim of a March sexual assault involving three former Ducks basketball players in a suit that says, in part, that Altman was fully aware that one of the players, Brandon Austin, had been suspended from his former college because of another sexual assault accusation.
The 18-page civil complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene by attorneys John Clune of Boulder, Colo., and Jennifer Middleton of Eugene, on behalf of the alleged victim, who they say "suffered damages and injuries as a result of the UO's violations of Title IX."
It seeks a jury trial and undetermined amount of damages for the alleged victim's tuition and "past, present and future emotional pain and suffering, ongoing and severe mental anguish, and loss of past, present and future enjoyment of life."
