The lawsuit claims that the incident occurred in March in a residence hall, where Hairston reportedly tried to isolate her in his bedroom, ignored her refusals to engage, and ultimately removed her pajama shorts.

The Bills&#8217; general manager emphasized their examination into Hairston&#8217;s conduct, suggesting that the claims lack substantiation. The case has been reported to the police,and the woman underwent an examination by a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >sexual assault nurse examiner<\/a>,though the results have not been disclosed.
