University of Kentucky faces allegations of mishandling sexual assault claims against former swimming coach Lars Jorgensen.

The University of Kentucky is "distressed" over allegations of sexual assault against former swimming and diving coach Lars Jorgensen, as outlined in a lawsuit filed by two former team members. The school will cooperate fully with law enforcement. The lawsuit alleges that the school "purposefully" disregarded multiple credible reports of inappropriate sexual relationships, empowering Jorgensen to create a toxic, sexually hostile environment.
