Title IX Attorney Cari Simon Comments on University of Washington Football Player Who Played in the Sugar Bowl & National Championship Despite Rape Investigation
University of Washington football standout Tybo Rogers will soon be arraigned on charges of rape, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Head coach Jedd Fisch confirmed Rogers was suspended after he was arrested for rape allegations in two separate incidents between Oct. 2023 and Nov. 2023.
Two young women claimed they were brutally attacked by Rogers. One of them was a UW student, the other attended Seattle Central Community College.
"Unfortunately, there is a history of universities that have placed their football programs, which bring in an enormous amount of revenue to an institution, over reports of sexual violence," said Cari Simon, attorney and Title IX expert with The Fierberg National Law Group.
