Florida basketball coach accused of sexual harassment, stalking students: report

The University of Florida is facing a Title IX complaint where multiple women have accused head men’s basketball coach Todd Golden of sexual harassment and stalking. The alleged incidents include following students, sending explicit messages and photos, and asking for sexual favors. The women described a pattern of behavior that escalated over time, with the coach manipulating and grooming them. They also claim that university members were complicit and aware of the behavior, suggesting a culture of sexual harassment within the coaching staff. The university spokesperson declined to comment on the investigation. The Gators, ranked 21st in the AP polls, have won their first two games of the season under Golden’s leadership.
