Michigan State<\/a> head football coach Mel Tucker is facing accusations of sexually harassing a woman who is a rape survivor and an activist, and he is under investigation by the school, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault-prevention<\/a> advocate who was gang raped by four college football players in 1998, filed the complaint against Tucker and alleged that the coach had asked whether she would date him if he weren\u2019t already married, and masturbated without her consent during a phone call, according to USA Today.<\/p>\n

Tracy talked to the Michigan State football team in August 2021 and April 2022 about preventing sexual violence and misconduct and was named an honorary captain for the team\u2019s spring football game that April. Shesaid afterward that Tucker had called her multiple times after the visit and even brought up meeting him alone, according to USA Today.<\/p>\n

Tracy said she filed a complaint with the university\u2019s Title IX office in December after a phone call in which Tucker allegedly made sexual comments and masturbated, according to the report. Tucker reportedly provided a conflicting statement to the Title IX investigator. He claimed they had had consensual “phone sex.”<\/p>\n

“Ms. Tracy\u2019s distortion of our mutually consensual and intimate relationship into allegations of sexual exploitation has really affected me,” Tucker wrote to the Title IX investigator in March, according to USA Today. “I am not proud of my judgment and I am having difficulty forgiving myself for getting into this situation, but I did not engage in misconduct by any definition.”<\/p>\n

Tracy told the outlet, “It\u2019s like he sought me out just to betray me.”<\/p>\n

Michigan State hired an outside Title IX attorney to investigation. The attorney wrapped the investigation in July, and a hearing on whether Tucker violated any school rules is set for October 5 and 6.<\/p>\n

A rep for Tucker didn\u2019t immediately return Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Tucker signed a 10-year, $95 million extension in November 2021 and has been married for more than 20 years. He and his wife have two sons together.<\/p>\n

A statement from Michigan State University<\/a> said the school doesn\u2019t comment on possible investigations as a “matter of protocol,” according to MLive.com.<\/p>\n

“Let me assure you that if any complaint came forward regarding a violation of the university\u2019s Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct policy, it would be thoroughly reviewed and followed up on by MSU\u2019s Office for Civil Rights. Confidentiality is important to the culture around reporting incidents \u2013 it\u2019s crucial in creating a safe environment for individuals to come forward,” Michigan State spokesperson Emily Guerrant said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Our commitment to our campus community and the public is to ensure that every complaint or concern brought forward is taken seriously and, when warranted, that a thorough investigation takes place. When investigations do happen, they need the ability to be conducted in a thorough and confidential manner.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
