“I was a freshman at KU and a coxswain on the rowing team,” McClure continues. “I was assaulted by the same football player who assaulted another rower on the team. I chose to stand up for myself and reported him to KU. Then KU did nothing for months.”

McClure released the video Thursday, joining a class-action lawsuit against Kansas that alleges the school failed to provide safe housing and wasn’t vigilant in investigating claims of sexual assault. She’s the second accuser to levy those allegations against Kansas in recent months. Both involved members of the school’s women’s rowing team and both involved the same football player.

That player was reportedly dismissed from the football team during the spring semester, five months after McClure reported the assault and more than six months after the alleged incident. The Washington Post is not naming the football player because he has not been charged with a crime. The alleged victims have both agreed to have their names published.

McClure initially filed a Title IX lawsuit in April as Jane Doe 7, but with her freshman year complete, she returned to her home in Illinois and decided to put her name on the lawsuit. She posted a YouTube video. Her family created a web site called KUsexualassault.com, which says, “From our perspective, KU did everything within its power to keep us quiet, attempting to make us go away, and hide the facts.”

“The school has spent months and months trying to keep it quiet and retaliating against my daughter,” Jim McClure, her father, said in a phone interview Thursday with The Washington Post. “It’s horrific. …We’re standing up because something is going to happen to someone who is not even there yet.”

Sexual assaults involving football players on college campus have sparked headlines and outrage in recent months, most recently at Baylor University. Coaches and school officials there have been under fire for failing to properly respond to allegations of rape or sexual assault filed by at least six students against football players in recent years.

The accusations at Kansas first came to light in March when Daisy Tackett, a former member of the school’s rowing team, filed a lawsuit alleging she was sexually assaulted in fall 2014 in a housing unit called the Jayhawker Towers. She didn’t come forward until learning the same football player was alleged to have assaulted another student nearly a year later. Tackett withdrew from school last semester. In her lawsuit, she said she faced retribution from rowing coaches, who prevented her from participating in team activities. Tackett and McClure are seeking class-action status, contending the school violated the Consumer Protection Act by misrepresenting its on-campus housing as safe.

A KU spokeswoman, Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, issued the following statement to The Post:

“The University of Kansas takes very seriously any and all claims of sexual assault and sexual violence. To protect the rights of all students involved, federal law prohibits the university from releasing details on individual sexual assault investigations. The university thoroughly investigated Ms. McClure’s allegations, and as a result, the accused student is no longer enrolled at KU. We are confident the courts will agree that we’ve met our obligations to both Ms. McClure and Ms. Tackett.”

McClure accepted an athletic scholarship and began her freshman year last August. The first day of classes was Aug. 24. Five days later, she says she was sexually assaulted by the football player.

“I struggle every day,” she said in the video. “I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t leave my dorm room. I stayed inside with a chair under my doorknob because I felt so unsafe. I went from hotel to hotel because I was afraid to live. And I couldn’t be there anymore.”

In her Title IX lawsuit, McClure said she waited 45 days to report the alleged assault, first to a team psychologist and then to campus security, Lawrence (Kan.) police and a team trainer. Eight days later, she provided details to the school’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access.

“But what we found was that the IOA was only interested in gathering facts to defend itself,” said Jim McClure, her father. “Sarah had no support, no guidance.”

“They made my life a living nightmare,” Sarah McClure said of the school’s IOA office.

McClure’s lawsuit alleges that the school “had a policy of placing KU athletes and football players in the Jayhawker Towers knowing that they would receive less supervision, and knowing that there was a high likelihood of sexual misconduct occurring.” It also alleges the school failed to investigate the accusation in a timely manner, failed to prevent the football player from contacting the alleged victim and failed to prevent coaches from retaliating.

School police forwarded a report to the district attorney’s office, according to local media reports, but that office opted against pursuing charges.

The player appeared in the Jayhawks’ first seven games last season but missed the final five, according to the Kansas City Star. McClure’s lawsuit said the football player was still enrolled in classes during the spring semester, and she was notified in March that he “had agreed to leave school.”

Jim McClure said his daughter missed some rowing practices following the assault “and the coaches began treating her horrifically,” he said. “They told her she would never be in a boat.”

He said his daughter was excluded from practices and training sessions away from campus, missing a team trip to Florida.

“One of the coaches actually asked her, ‘Aren’t you ready to leave Kansas by now?’ ” he said. “It was absolutely her being punished.”

Said McClure: “No one should ever have to go through the things they said to me.”

While McClure finished her freshman year in Lawrence, her father said she will not be returning to Kansas.
