3 new lawsuits filed against Northwestern, Pat Fitzgerald in hazing scandal
CHICAGO â Three more former football players have filed lawsuits against Northwestern University and their former head football coach, Pat Fitzgerald, for alleged violent sexual hazing.Those plaintiffs include a former linebacker and the initial anonymous whistleblower who first reported the hazing and sparked the investigation, bringing the total number of lawsuits filed from players to 25.
The three claim they tried telling school leaders about the violent and sexual hazing happening within the Wildcats football program years before the former Illinois inspector general launched an investigation.In the suit, Nathan Fox claims a therapist at Northwestern told him the hazing was 'not real' but instead a symptom of bipolar disorder. He then prescribed him medication that he says caused serious side effects, including suicidal thoughts.
