Report: Two women say ex-Washington RB Derrius Guice raped them at LSU
Two women say ex-Washington RB Derrius Guice raped them at LSU when he was a freshman. This is from an investigation that was reported on USA Today.
The women’s allegations were shared at the time with multiple people at the school – including at least two coaches, an athletics administrator and a nurse – yet the school does not appear to have investigated.
These charges happened months apart in 2016 when Guice was a rising freshman.
LSU’s head coach Ed Orgeron was brought up in the report too.
The report is crazy, according to TMZ Sports, the girl was reportedly dating another player on the LSU football team.
In the report, the boyfriend alleged Orgeron had at least some knowledge of the incident, and says the coach brushed it all off to him when they had a conversation about it.
In fact, the boyfriend said to USA Today Sports that Orgeron had told him, “everybody’s girlfriend sleeps with other people.”
Orgeron released this statement.
“The anonymous quote attributed to me by a former player in USA Today is not accurate,” the coach said. “Out of respect for the young man’s privacy, I will not reveal the full details of the conversation. What I will say is that a player came into my office to discuss transferring from our program.”
“We also discussed the player’s relationship challenges with his girlfriend. I told him what I would tell my own sons: ‘We all experience heartbreak growing up. Do not throw away a promising academic and football career at LSU because of a personal obstacle.'”
“Any insinuation that I had knowledge of his girlfriend and Derrius Guice is completely false.”
Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. This could be wild, stay tuned.
