Former Northwestern cheerleader Hayden Richardson has dropped her lawsuit alleging sex trafficking and forced labor against the school.
ESPN's Adam Rittenberg noted Richardson's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on Monday.
The Title IX lawsuit was originally filed in January 2021, with Richardson alleging the school attempted to cover up complaints of sexual harassment toward her and other members of the cheerleading team from fans and alumni at tailgates and donor events.
Former Northwestern athletic director Mike Polisky, who was promoted from deputy athletic director of external affairs on May 3, 2021, was among those named in the lawsuit.
