Buffalo Bills Rookie Maxwell Hairston Sued for 2021 Sexual Assault

News summary

Buffalo Bills first-round draft pick Maxwell Hairston is facing a civil lawsuit alleging sexual assault during his time as a freshman at the University of Kentucky in 2021. The lawsuit claims Hairston entered a woman's dorm room without permission, ignored her refusals, and engaged in non-consensual sexual contact. The Bills and NFL were aware of a Title IX investigation into the incident before the draft, and the Bills conducted their own inquiry, with general manager Brandon Beane defending Hairston as an 'impeccable kid' and stating there was no evidence supporting the allegations. Hairston was never criminally charged, and the case was not public until the recent lawsuit filing seeking compensatory and punitive damages. The alleged victim reported the incident immediately and later transferred schools. The situation remains controversial, with the Bills standing by their investigation and Hairston's character while the civil case proceeds.
