BAYLOR SETTLES SUIT OVER SEXUAL ASSAULT

  

Baylor University has agreed to a settlement with one of a number of women who have filed suit amidst a sexual assault scandal that rocked the nation's largest Baptist school.

A settlement notice was filed in federal court on Thursday. No details were released.

Several women have sued Baylor, alleging the university ignored or mishandled sexual assault investigations for several years. The scandal led to the firing of former football coach Art Briles and the demotion and eventual departure of former school President Ken Starr.

The settled case involves a woman identified ony as Jane Doe, who said in 2015 she was drugged and abducted from an off-campus residence where Baylor officials had received previous reports of assaults.
