A former female Baylor athlete who was sexually assaulted by Bears football player Sam Ukwuachu apparently has reached a settlement with the school.

"All I can say is that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved," said Colorado attorney John Clune, a prominent Title IX attorney, who represents the female athlete.

Neither Clune nor the family of the victim would comment further.

Clune specializes in representing gender violence victims and has handled groundbreaking federal lawsuits in sexual assault cases involving student athletes.

No suit was filed in this case.

A Baylor spokesperson did not immediately return a phone message left Thursday afternoon.

The Dallas Morning News does not identify victims of sexual assault and their families without their consent.

Ukwuachu, who attended Pearland High School outside of Houston, transferred to Baylor from Boise State before the 2013 football season. He was found guilty in August of the sexual assault in a State District Court in Waco. The assault occurred in October 2013. Transfer rules required him to sit out the 2013 season. He sat out the 2014 season for reasons that were never revealed.

Ukwuachu was sentenced to 180 days in county jail and 10 years felony probation.

He sought a retrial in October but was denied. He immediately appealed his conviction. The appeal is pending. Ukwuachu subsequently was released from McLennan County Jail after posting a $100,000 appeal bond.

In the trial that ended with Ukwuachu's conviction it was revealed that the value of the female athlete's scholarship at Baylor was reduced after the assault. Ukwuachu, who was indicted in June 2014, remained on full scholarship. He might have played defensive end for Baylor this season had he not been found guilty. Two months before Ukwuachu's four-day trial and conviction, defensive coordinator Phil Bennett told a gathering at a luncheon he anticipated the defensive end would play in 2015.

The female athlete subsequently transferred and has continued to play her sport.

In January 2014, another former Baylor defensive end, Tevin Elliott, was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for sexually assaulting a former Baylor student in 2012. Two other former Baylor students testified that he sexually assaulted them, too.

In the wake of Ukwuachu's conviction Baylor retained outside legal counsel to investigate issues raised in an internal report of the Ukwuachu case. Baylor president and chancellor Ken Starr also announced the school would create an athletic department position that would report to him that "has the authority and oversight of all student-athlete behavior."
