LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Five women have joined a lawsuit filed against escort Katina Powell and say she falsely alleges they participated in prostitution at the University of Louisville in her book.
Jemiah Nash, Marquease Richardson, Precious Burnley, Shinita Martin and Dolly Bolden joined a suit previously filed by four Louisville students that accuses Powell of damaging the school's reputation in her book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen." Powell alleges in the book that former Cardinals men's basketball staffer Andre McGee hired her and other dancers to strip and have sex with recruits and players.
The women say Powell's allegations are false and accuse her, author Dick Cady and publisher IBJ Book Publishing of using their names, stage names and images without consent.
