US EditionEx-Indiana Basketball Team Doctor Accused of Sexual Misconduct by at Least 15 Former Players, per Report
- A minimum of 15 individuals who once played for Indiana University's men's basketball team have come forward accusing their former team doctor, Dr. Bradford Bomba, of sexual misconduct related to inappropriate medical examinations conducted from the 1970s through the late 1990s.
- The accusations arise amid claims that university officials, including coach Bob Knight who died in 2023, were aware of Bomba's conduct but failed to intervene effectively.
- An independent investigation commissioned by Indiana examined thousands of documents and interviewed 100 people, concluding Bomba performed digital rectal exams in a 'clinically appropriate manner' without evidence of sexual gratification.
- Plaintiffs encounter legal obstacles as Indiana University contends their claims are barred due to the civil sexual assault claims being filed beyond the allowable two-year period, despite the $5 million demand and a recent magistrate judge's decision permitting discovery to continue.
- Despite Bomba's death, at least 10 additional men plan to pursue litigation with attorney Michelle Simpson Tuegel to seek accountability and warn others about alleged abuses in the basketball program.
