Woman accusing 2 Gators of sexual assault boycotts hearing
A woman who accused two University of Florida football players of sexual assault skipped a school code of conduct hearing Friday because a Gators sports booster was assigned to adjudicate the case, her attorney said in a letter to the school.
Callaway, who led Florida with 35 catches for 678 yards and returned two punts for touchdowns last season, returned to campus for classes in June after missing spring practice.
Boulder, Colorado-based attorney John Clune wrote in email to the university's general counsel that the woman making the allegations against Callaway and Harris, along with her family members and five witnesses were boycotting the scheduled hearing at the Gainesville campus.
University spokeswoman Janine Sikes said in a statement that student conduct hearing officers could be a university employee or an outside professional, or a committee of faculty and students.
