Per Jack and Max:

Florida men’s basketball head coach Todd Golden has been accused by an undefined number of women for sexual harassment and stalking, according to Title IX documents obtained by The Alligator.

The University of Florida received a formal Title IX complaint on Golden Sept. 27 alleging that he engaged in various conduct that potentially violated the UF Gender Equity Policy.

In order to comply with federal law, UF can’t comment on or confirm any Title IX inquiries, complaints or investigations, according to a UF spokesperson.

The formal Title IX complaint against Golden obtained by The Alligator includes allegations of sexual exploitation, sexual harassment and stalking. The complaint alleges that over a year, Golden specifically aimed these behaviors toward UF students.

The claims regarding sexual harassment, which could also include sexual exploitation, cited sending photos and videos of his genitalia while traveling for UF, unwanted sexual advances on Instagram, requesting sexual favors, and various occasions of stalking.

There was allegedly more than one occasion in which Golden was taking photos of women walking or driving and sending those pictures to the subjects involved. Various stalking incidents also included Golden showing up to locations where he knew the women would be.

On allegedly more than one occasion, Golden was engaging women on Instagram by liking photos then waiting until they read the DM before un-liking the photos to avoid suspicion.

The UF men’s basketball coaching staff didn’t respond in time for publication.

The Alligator spoke with two separate women who attested to Golden’s behavior and requested to remain anonymous for safety reasons. Since the investigation began, there was a small amount of action that was taken by UF, both women said.

The first woman, a former UF student, said that Golden stalked her in person, both in his car and on foot, and that this occurred “more than 10 times.” On one occasion, she said she posted her location on her Instagram story, and Golden messaged her shortly after saying that he was in the area “waiting for [her].”

She also said Golden sent unsolicited photos of his genitalia to her. On multiple occasions, the first woman said she received the photos while the team was traveling on the road. The nature of Golden’s alleged stalking became more assertive over time, she said.

“At first, it starts off slow, like, ‘Oh, wow. That’s odd. This guy is showing us attention,’” the first woman said. “And then it becomes, ‘Wow, he’s kind of crossing a line. No, he didn’t mean it that way.’ Then it’s, ‘Wait, he’s fully stepping over that line.’ And then it’s, ‘Wow, there’s a picture of his d*ck.’ It was a full grooming process with all of us.”


Go Gophers!!
 



yeesh... i'm sure his wife will be super pumped about this
 




I mean, I just don't get it. Not only is it terrible, but he's throwing away a $4 million dollar job, and has one of the best jobs in his industry.
 

First, I only read the OP.
Second, at this point everything is alleged.
Third, the kangaroo court of social media is already condemning the coach as a condemned serial stalker.

At this point, I really wish news agencies would muzzle their oxen until justice is pronounced.
 

After reading this, I'm feeling a little bit better about myself.

Guilty until proven innocent.

Well never in criminal court. The only issue is how many millions the taxpayers have to pay.
 

I still love how that father lunged at Larry Nasser in court....and EVERYONE said what a hero he is.

As if the extra ten million dollars he got had nothing to do with it.
