LSU football player found responsible for sexual assault in Title IX hearing

An LSU football player was found responsible for sexual assault and forcible rape following a university Title IX investigation. The investigation stemmed from an incident reported on October 18, 2025. After an appeal that reduced his punishment, the case has been referred for criminal charges by the East Baton Rouge District Attorney's Office. The victim alleged that sexual acts were not consensual, while the player maintained that he stopped when asked. The university's Title IX office stated the complaint does not equate to criminal charges automatically, and LSU President Wade Rousse emphasized the importance of safety and compliance with policies.
