BYU QB Jake Retzlaff Responds to Civil Lawsuit, Claiming Encounter Was Consensual

  • BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff filed a response on Friday to a civil lawsuit brought in May that accuses him of sexual assault occurring at his residence in Provo during November 2023.
  • The lawsuit followed allegations by the plaintiff, Jane Doe A.G., who claimed assault and injuries, while Retzlaff denies all accusations and asserts the encounter was consensual.
  • Retzlaff's attorneys stated the plaintiff initiated contact, visited his apartment to play video games, and that witnesses saw polite, consensual behavior during the evening.
  • On June 30, both parties submitted a joint motion to dismiss the lawsuit, with Retzlaff understood to be facing a suspension spanning seven games for breaching BYU's Honor Code and indicating plans to depart from the program.
  • The dismissal awaits a judge's signature, underscoring BYU's adherence to strict behavioral standards under its church-affiliated Honor Code and the ongoing impact on Retzlaff's football career.
