East Baton Rouge DA opens criminal probe into 2025 LSU football player sexual assault allegation
East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore has opened a criminal investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving an unnamed LSU football player and a student. The incident occurred on October 18, 2025, but was only recently brought to the DA's office after the alleged victim posted a TikTok video on September 14, 2026. The DA has requested all records from LSU, local police, and the coroner's office. LSU President Mary Jane Rousse stated the university followed Title IX procedures, while the victim claims the accused admitted to the assault during a campus hearing but no criminal charges were initially filed.
