Unnamed Baylor Student Speaks on School's Handling of Alleged Sexual Assault

Two more female Baylor University students have come forward to discuss the school's lack of response after they were involved in alleged sexual assaults.

Rissa Shaw of KCEN passed along comments from an unnamed senior, listed as "Ally" throughout the report, and a junior named Sierra Smith on Thursday. Both stated Baylor failed to take what they felt were the necessary steps after they came forward with their claims.

Ally told KCEN a "current Baylor football player" raped her during her freshman year. She stated a visit to the campus' health clinic the next day resulted in the doctor providing her with details about pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases before reportedly wishing her "good luck."

"I wanted, I guess, guidance and more information on what I could do besides, 'Here's to make sure you're not pregnant, here's to make sure you don't have STDs,' and that never solved the problem that was still out there, the potential danger for other girls," she said.

She believes the fact her alleged attacker was on the football team played a role in the lack of a more comprehensive response to her claim. She also explained to KCEN that since the incident, she's avoided areas where football players may be around.

Smith thinks the issue is more widespread than trying to protect athletes, though. She came forward with details about an alleged sexual assault during the spring semester and, as Baylor came under fire on a national scale for the ongoing scandal, felt her issue was pushed aside since it didn't involve a sports star.

"As time went on, it just seemed more and more evident that my case wasn't relevant, and I felt that was especially pertinent because he wasn't a football player or an athlete or even a frat star. He was just another classmate," Smith told KCEN.

Baylor has started to make changes in the wake of receiving a report from the Pepper Hamilton law firm last month that investigated the university's handling of sexual assaults. The Associated Press reported it's unclear whether those details will be made public.

The Board of Regents announced changes to the leadership structure May 26. Head football coach Art Briles was suspended with the "intent to terminate," while athletic director Ian McCaw got "sanctioned and placed on probation" before he resigned from the position May 30.

The news release included a statement from Board of Regents chairman Richard Willis:

"

We were horrified by the extent of these acts of sexual violence on our campus. This investigation revealed the university's mishandling of reports in what should have been a supportive, responsive and caring environment for students. The depth to which these acts occurred shocked and outraged us. Our students and their families deserve more, and we have committed our full attention to improving our processes, establishing accountability and ensuring appropriate actions are taken to support former, current and future students.

"

Kenneth Starr was expected to transition from president to chancellor as part of the overhaul. He stepped down from that position less than a week later "as a matter of conscience," but he'll continue to teach at Baylor's law school, according to ESPN.com.

Paula Lavigne of ESPN.com reported a Title IX lawsuit filed against the university in March focused on the lack of response by school officials and specifically named Briles. David Tarrant, Sue Ambrose and Holly K. Hacker of the Dallas Morning News previously noted more lawsuits are expected.
