Former Michigan State basketball assistant Travis Walton was one of the focal points of an Outside the Lines investigation from Paula Lavigne and Nicole Noren of ESPN delving into "a pattern of widespread denial, inaction and information suppression" by school officials when it came to violence against women.
The report detailed two incidents involving Walton. He was charged for punching a female student in the face in one, and another female student said he and two Michigan State basketball players raped her in the other incident.
Walton released a statement Tuesday in which he denied physically assaulting a woman and said he has never been charged with sexual assault, describing his encounters as consensual.
