Second former KU rower files sexual assault lawsuit against university

LAWRENCE

A second Title IX suit has been filed against the University of Kansas by a another member of the women’s rowing team who alleged she was sexually assaulted by a former KU football player.

Attorney Dan Curry filed the lawsuit Monday in Douglas County District Court for client Jane Doe 7, a current KU student who chose to file under a pseudonym.

The 21-page petition alleges that Jane Doe was sexually assaulted on Aug. 29 in her room at Jayhawker Towers. On March 21, Curry filed a suit for former KU rower Daisy Tackett, who alleged she was sexually assaulted in late 2014, also at Jayhawker Towers.
