The jury spent the majority of Tuesday deliberating after three days of testimony in a Waco Federal courtroom.
WACO, Texas — A jury found Baylor University liable for violating Title IX and ordered the university to pay $270,000 in negligence claims after three days of testimony in a Waco Federal courtroom on Tuesday, Oct. 24.
In the Title IX lawsuit, former student Dolores Lozano accused former Baylor running back Devin Chafin of domestic abuse. She was part of a lawsuit filed in 2016 involving fifteen other women accusing the university of neglecting them after they were sexually assaulted by football players and other students.
Lozano believes Baylor didn’t do enough to stop it or investigate the alleged assault properly.
Previously, all negligence charges against former Baylor University football Head Coach Art Briles and former Baylor Athletic Director Ian McCaw in the alleged domestic violence case against Chafin were dismissed by a judge on Friday, Oct. 20.
In Friday’s trial, both McCaw and Briles lawyers explained how their clients were not responsible for what allegedly took place that Spring of 2014 involving Lozano and Chafin.
On Thursday, Briles and McCaw testified, which you can read here.
The judge ruled in their favor and switched focus on assigning the proper charges against Baylor.
Both the plaintiff and defense presented their closing arguments on Monday, Oct. 23 morning and deliberations began soon after.
