Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker has been accused of sexually harassing rape survivor Brenda Tracy during her time working with the Spartans, according to USA Today's Kenny Jacoby.
EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN - SEPTEMBER 10: Head coach Mel Tucker of the Michigan State Spartans looks on during the game against the Akron Zips at Spartan Stadium on September 10, 2022 in East Lansing, Michigan.
Tucker had previously invited Tracy to campus three times before the alleged incident, twice to speak to the team and once as"The idea that someone could know me and say they understand my trauma but then re-inflict that trauma on me is so disgusting to me, it's hard for me to even wrap my mind around it," she told USA TODAY."It's like he sought me out just to betray me.""Ms.
Tucker reportedly didn't meet with the investigator until March 22, at which point he made a number of claims that were refuted with further investigation. He allegedly claimed the"phone sex" call came from his home in East Lansing rather than a Florida hotel, as Tracy claimed. The investigator, however, obtained documents showing Tucker had been in Naples, Florida at the time of the call to attend a golf event at Michigan State's expense.
Tucker's wildest claim was reportedly that he heard ESPN investigative reporter Paula Lavigne was investigating the veracity of Tracy's 1998 alleged sexual assault story, which he claimed made him question her. Lavigne denied she had ever worked on any such story:
