Overview

  • The suit was filed July 2 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky and centers on a March 24, 2021 incident at the University of Kentucky.
  • It accuses Hairston of uninvited dorm entry, ignoring the student’s refusals, removing her pajama shorts, committing sexual assault and causing emotional distress.
  • The unnamed plaintiff reported the incident to law enforcement at the time, transferred out of the university and is seeking compensatory damages and a jury trial.
  • No criminal charges have been filed and the university’s Title IX investigation found no evidence to support the allegations.
  • Selected 30th overall in April’s NFL draft, Hairston signed his four-year rookie contract in mid-June and is now awaiting the outcome of the civil proceedings.
