An internal investigation by the University of California-Berkeley has substantiated claims of sexual violence and harassment against longtime athletic department employee Mohamed Muqtar.
On April 17, Cal sent copies of the finished report to the seven women, all former Cal student-athletes, who claimed abuse by Muqtar dating back nearly 20 years. Among the women is current WNBA All-Star Layshia Clarendon, whose lawsuit filed in January jump-started the school's investigation into Muqtar. Clarendon's accusations against Muqtar include a physical assault in 2009-10, during her freshman year at Cal, when she was 18 years old.
A copy of the report was also sent to the Cal athletic department by deputy Title IX compliance officer Yohance Edwards.
