Sam Ukwuachu Rape Victim Hires Title IX Lawyer to Assist Baylor's Investigation

Baylor University is undergoing an investigation involving its handling of the sexual assault allegations against Sam Ukwuachu, who was convicted of the crime last week. The victim and her family have reportedly hired Title IX attorney John Clune to review the situation.

Barry Horn of the Dallas Morning News confirmed the addition of Clune, who's part of a firm that's worked on several high-profile sexual assault cases. The Colorado-based lawyer provided a statement about the Baylor inquiry.

"We are glad to see that President [Ken] Starr and Baylor have chosen to conduct their own investigation and look forward to learning the outcome of that process," Clune said.
