Three Purdue football players expelled

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.

A law firm that represents a woman who says she was sexually assaulted by three football players says Purdue University has expelled the athletes.

The Indianapolis Star reports the law firm Massillamany & Jeter LLP said Friday that the players were expelled after Purdue’s Administrative Board investigated an alleged October 2016 incident.

Assault charges weren’t filed against the players but one of the two women who said they were assaulted hired the firm because she hoped to have the players expelled.
