This is an interesting strategy from LSU.
Instead of just acknowledging that Derrius Guice is an abuser, they are trying to victim shame the grandma.
“LSU documented several instances in 2017 when Gloria Scott contacted university officials to report that former star running back Derrius Guice had sexually harassed her, but the direction of their inquiry into Scott’s allegations changed after a man who represented her asked LSU to pay her.
Scott told The Advocate | The Times-Picayune that she never authorized the man, New Orleans AAU basketball coach Cleavon Williams, to ask LSU for money over the Guice incident. Scott said she asked Williams for his help because she wanted to report that Guice had sexually harassed her, and she wanted him barred from playing in the 2018 Citrus Bowl.
But audio recordings, text messages and police reports obtained through public records requests show that Williams made an additional demand of sorts. He told Athletic Department officials that Scott would go public with her story if the university did not pay her $100,000 or withhold Guice from the Citrus Bowl.”
It just doesn’t seem prudent to make a grandma look bad.
Flip the page for the demands.
