BOULDER – The case of ex-University of Colorado Football coach Joe Tumpkin, who was accused by his ex-girlfriend of domestic violence, continues to develop. The alleged victim has now filed a claim indicating her intention to sue CU, seeking damages in the amount of an estimated $3.7 million, or $5,000 per day for the duration of the domestic violence.
The attorney representing the woman, Peter R. Ginsberg, notified the university in a written claim on May 17. He stated that he believes CU is liable for its role in the abuse the woman allegedly endured.
Tumpkin’s ex-girlfriend is claiming that the University was not only aware of the situation, but also attempted to cover it up.
