Report Outlines Alleged Gang Rape At UTC
posted November 1, 2005

The 18-year-old female bringing allegations of gang rape against seven UTC football players said she was carried into Boling Apartments "due to her intoxicated state."

UTC on Monday released the full report in the case.

It says the young woman gave the report on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 23, of the incident that occurred early Friday morning, Oct. 21. She said it happened between 2:30 and 4:30 in the morning at Room 202 of Boling Apartments.

She said that on Thursday night and early Friday morning, she attended a party with friends at the Lambda Chi Fraternity and consumed bottled alcoholic beverages. She said that between 1:30 and 2 a.m., a large group of UTC football players came inside to join the party.


She said that during the course of the party, she became separated from her friends. The party began to break up around 2:30 to 3 a.m.

She said that as the party was breaking up, Terrence Thomas told her he would take her home. She said Adam Daigler drove both of them back to Boling Apartments and he left.

She said Thomas carried her up to his apartment and took her to his bedroom, where he said she could sleep. She said he laid her on the bed and took off all of her clothes.

She said she noticed that Thomas also took off his clothes and was standing beside the bed having sex with her while she lay sideways on the bed.

She said he stopped a short time later, then he had a conversation with some other males who were standing inside his bedroom watching.

She said she then "became very scared and defensive as the other 7-10 males present in Room 202 began taking turns having sex with her."

She said she was able to get off the bed and make it to the restroom, "fending off males trying to enter the restroom."

She said she then tried to go back to the bedroom to retrieve her clothing, but was forced into the common area "where the 7-10 males once again forced sexual acts upon her including unwanted and forced oral sex."

She said she began hitting the males in an attempt to get them to stop and recalls hitting Thomas repeatedly during the encounter. She said she possibly hit another male as well.

She said one of the males hit her, but she does not recall who it was.

She said she then was taken back into Thomas' bedroom, where he and others performed unwanted sexual acts on her again.

She said afterwards, Thomas threw her clothes at her, telling her to put them on.

She said she was then driven to UTC Place and left there.
