Michigan State's Mel Tucker accused of sexually harassment by survivor & advocate, report says

USA Today was the first to report on the allegations, made by Brenda Tracy. Tracy, a survivor of rape and who has turned her survival into a life's mission to educate athletes about sexual violence, arrived in East Lansing first in August 2021 and again in April 2022.

After the game, Tracy said Tucker called her multiples times, asked her to meet him alone and "even suggested slipping into her hotel through a back door so no one would see him," according to the USA Today report. The complaint was filed in December 2022 and Michigan State hired an outside Title IX attorney to investigate the allegations. USA Today reports that, in March, Tucker said the relationship was "mutually consensual and intimate." In a statement to the investigator, he acknowledged to masturbating on the call but said the two had consensual phone sex, according to the report.

USA Today reports that a hearing to determine whether Tucker violated the school's sexual harassment policy is set for Oct. 5 and 6.
