The University of Maryland Baltimore County is at the center of a report from the Department of Justice, showing officials failed to report sexual misconduct properly.
An investigation into the University of Maryland in Baltimore County conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice found school officials did not address sexual abuse allegations made by members of the swimming and diving team against their coach.
The coach allegedly held sleepovers at his home with students, paid for private meals and haircuts, and developed a close personal relationship with a male student-athlete he later employed and moved into his home. The DOJ broke the findings down by the men’s team and the women’s team. For the men’s team, the DOJ learned several male student-athletes were sexually abused and assaulted by the head coach between 2015 and 2020.
But in March 2021, just five days after receiving a notice of the allegations against him, the head coach died by suicide, according to the DOJ. The University of Maryland Baltimore did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the report from the DOJ. 'Our investigation revealed an enduring hostile environment based on sex in the Athletics Department that affected many student-athletes, both male and female,' the DOJ wrote.
