College staff misconduct · Accused: former professor and academic adviser

Years of abuse: 2014-2016

A former student alleged in a federal lawsuit that a BYU-Idaho professor who began as her adviser groomed her from 2014 to 2016, touched her under the guise of 'spinal touch therapy' and escalated to sexual contact, including in his campus office, and that staff failed to report it to Title IX.

Status: Alleged in a 2016 federal civil lawsuit; the professor died in 2016. In 2022 a federal judge denied the university summary judgment on key claims, citing evidence of possible deliberate indifference.
