EVENING, EVERYBODY, I'M DOUG
DUNBAR.
THERE ARE DISTURBING NEW
ALLEGATIONS ABOUT A SEXUAL
ASSAULT CRISIS.
IT APPEARS LARGER THAN ANYONE
REALIZED.
BAYLOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS ACCUSED
OF COMMITTING MORE THAN 50
RAPES IN A FOUR-YEAR SPAN.
THE ALLEGATIONS ARE SO
SHOCKING, SOME ARE CALLING FOR
A SHUTDOWN OF THE UNIVERSITY'S
FOOTBALL PROGRAM.
BRITTNEY IS LIVE TONIGHT AT THE
CBS TOWER IN DALLAS.
BRITTNEY.
Reporter: I CAN TELL YOU
THAT FEDERAL LAWSUIT WAS FILED
TODAY WITH SOME SHOCKING
ALLEGATIONS.
FORMER BAYLOR UNIVERSITY
STUDENT SAYS THAT SHE WAS RAPED
BY TWO FOOTBALL PLAYERS THAT
CLAIMS THERE ARE MANY MORE
VICTIMS.
SHE STATES MORE THAN 50 VICTIMS
BY FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN A FOUR-
YEAR SPAN.
THOSE DOCUMENTS ALSO STATE THAT
AT LEAST TWO GANG RAPES WERE
COMMITTED BY TEN OR MORE
DIFFERENT BAYLOR FOOTBALL
PLAYERS AT ONE TIME.
QUOTED AT THAT TIME, SOME OF
THOSE PLAYERS RECORDED THE
RAPES ON THEIR PHONES AND WOULD
LATER DISTRIBUTE THE RECORDINGS
TO TEAMMATES.
THE DOCUMENTS SAY THAT
ELIZABETH DOE WAS ASSAULTED IN
2013 AND BAYLOR UNIVERSITY HAD
A CULTURE OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE
AND DIDN'T INVESTIGATE THE RAPE
AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY WACO
POLICE.
BETWEEN 2011 AND 2014, THE RAPE
OR PHYSICAL ABUSE BY FOOTBALL
PLAYERS WAS REPORTED DIRECTLY
TO COACHES AND ATHLETIC
DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL WHO DIDN'T
TAKE ANY ACTION.
SEXUAL ASSAULT ADVOCATES SAY
THAT THIS IS A POWERFUL
LAWSUIT.
THIS COULD EXPOSE EVERYTHING
THAT IS GOING ON AND IT IS ALSO
SHOWING THE CHANGE THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN TERMS OF THE CLIMATE
OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES.
VICTIMS ARE STARTING TO FIGHT
BACK.
THEY ARE FIGHTING BACK AGAINST
THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT
PROVIDING A SAFE SPACE FOR THEM
TO LEARN.
THE LAWSUIT GOES ON TO SAY
THE SEXUALLY HOSTILE EFFECTS OF
BAYLOR'S POLICY CAUSE DOE TO
SUFFER PANIC ATTACKS AND
ANXIETY AFTER RUNNING INTO HER
RAPIST ON CAMPUS.
THE DOCUMENTS ALLEGE THAT
BAYLOR FOOTBALL STAFF HAD A
QUOTE, SHOW THEM A GOOD TIME
POLICY WHEN IT CAME TO
RECRUITING AND SEX, ALCOHOL,
AND DRUGS WERE ALL PERMITTED
WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT IN
DALLAS, BRITTNEY JEFFERS, CBS
11 NEWS.
BAYLOR'S INTERIM PRESIDENT
RELEASED A STATEMENT, DAVID
SAYS QUOTE, BAYLOR HAS TAKEN
UNPRECEDENTED ACTION THAT HAVE
BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED IN
RESPONSE TO THE PAST AND
ALLEGED SEXUAL ASSAULT.
WE MADE GREAT PROGRESS IN
IMPLEMENTING 105
RECOMMENDATIONS TO STRENGTHEN
