Former Coppin State basketball player files sexual assault, blackmail lawsuit against school
A former Coppin State University (CSU) basketball player is taking legal action against the school, claiming that an assistant coach sexually assaulted and blackmailed him.
Baltimore Brew reported, Ibn Williams believed he was talking to a woman through social media when he sent her explicit texts and nudes of himself in the fall of his freshman year in college. But he wasn’t aware he was allegedly communicating with Lucian Brownlee, a former Coppin State basketball player who was serving as Director of Player Development and Director of Basketball Operations.
The lawsuit accuses Brownlee of manipulating Williams into sending nudes and racy texts. Along with, Brownlee allegedly blackmailing Williams into recording a sexual encounter with him. Williams reportedly “was enticed into sending images of himself to this person of a sexual nature that [he] believed were private and in the context of a developing romantic relationship,” the lawsuit says.
CSU reportedly has an anti-sexual harassment policy but “took no action” to fix the situation with Williams the lawsuit states.
“Our strong belief is that Lucian [himself] was the catfisher,” Epstein said.
Epstein says the school shouldn’t have hired Brownlee due to his past issues with mental illness, which the university was allegedly aware. “The coach should have known better than to put this person in a position of seniority,” he said.
Brownlee is reportedly no longer working for the school.
Williams would later finish his last semester at CSU online before he transferred to another university to complete his degree requirements,” Epstein said, according to the Brew.
