Women Sue Conn. College over Handling of Sex Assault Claims

Say college failed to respond appropriately

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A federal lawsuit filed by four women who say the University of Connecticut mishandled reports of sexual abuse on campus alleges that one attacker was a player on the school's football team.

The women accuse UConn of failing to protect them and responded to their complaints with deliberate indifference or worse. They are among seven women who recently asked for a federal Title IX investigation of the school.
