A former Michigan State University football player expelled amid a sex assault accusation is suing the school, claiming officials acted wrongfully based on a false report and halting his NFL career.
The 55-page complaint was filed on Keith Mumphery's behalf Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, some six months after his accuser also sued the university over rights violations as well as failing to properly address a March 17, 2015 incident.
"Despite a previously unblemished disciplinary record and Michigan State’s initial finding of 'no responsibility,' Plaintiff now finds himself permanently dismissed from Michigan State based on false allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual exploitation," the court document read.
