Recent updates in the Title IX lawsuit against LSU named head coach Ed Orgeron as a defendant for failure to report a rape allegation made against former star Derrius Guice.
Ashlyn Robertson is one of three additional women to be included in the lawsuit accusing Guice of rape. According to the lawsuit, Robertson’s boyfriend made made Coach Orgeron aware about the incident, and Orgeron allegedly responded by saying “everybody’s girlfriend sleeps with other people.”
Orgeron denied those allegations in a statement saying no one told him about the incident. It’s been reported the law firm could not interview the former player who allegedly has this conversation with Orgeron.
Guice, however, isn’t the only former Tiger included in the lawsuit. The recently amended suit also includes former quarterback Peter Parrish.
The Alabama native signed with LSU in 2019, but after not touching the field during his freshman season, he then transferred to Memphis in 2020.
The amended lawsuit states Coach Orgeron never reported the rape incident to the Title IX office or any other office at LSU.
LSU school spokesman Ernie Ballard provided the following statement to ESPN on Friday evening: “We are reviewing this update to a previously filed lawsuit, but as stated before, we are focused on taking actions to ensure that we create a campus that is safe, just and worthy of the trust that has been placed in us.”
Orgeron and LSU’s athletic director have yet to make a statement following the amended lawsuit.
