A Michigan State University hearing officer has determined former Michigan State football coach Mel Tucker sexually harassed rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy, according to a person familiar with the ruling.
FILE - Michigan State coach Mel Tucker watches the team's NCAA college football game against Rutgers, Nov. 12, 2022, in East Lansing, Mich. A Michigan State University hearing officer has determined that former coach Tucker sexually harassed rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy, a person familiar with the ruling told The Associated Press on Wednesday, Oct. 25.
Tucker was suspended and later fired for acknowledging he had consensual phone sex with Tracy, who was a vendor once paid to speak with the Spartans football team about how to prevent sexual abuse and misbehavior. The school said it terminated Tucker after he subjected the institution to ridicule, breaching his contract and moral turpitude.
Shortly after Tucker was fired in September, attorney Jennifer Belveal asked university officials and representatives to preserve all documents related to the investigation “in anticipation of litigation” against the university for what she said was an illegal termination.
