Appeals court revives lawsuit against N.C. State over alleged sexual abuse by sports official.

An appeals court has revived a lawsuit against North Carolina State University (N.C. State), filed by a former athlete alleging sexual abuse by the university's former sports medicine director, Robert Murphy Jr. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's dismissal, stating that the school might have received "actual notice" of the abuse through a senior official being informed of suspicious behavior. The case will now proceed to the district court.
