A third former North Carolina State University student-athlete has filed a federal lawsuit accusing the university of not protecting students from sexual abuse from its longtime director of sports medicine, Robert Murphy.

As reported by The News & Observer of Raleigh, the latest lawsuit, filed Friday, likewise contends that university officials created a hostile educational environment and enabled sexual abuse by Murphy, N.C. State’s director of sports medicine from 2012 to 2022. The lawsuits allege that N.C. State failed to take action after a former soccer coach reported in early 2016 concerns that Murphy was grooming students for sexual contact. The third lawsuit states that that coach and two other coaches were aware of Murphy’s sexual conduct with student athletes prior to 2016, but didn’t report it as required.
