Another Title IX Suit Against Baylor- Plaintiff Alleges Gang Rape by Football Players

According to a lawsuit filed late Tuesday, the victim was "brutally gang raped by at least four and, according to some reports, as many as eight, Baylor football players." She claims the university was "indifferent" in responding to hers and multiple other cases of sexual assault.

Trinity Industries Settles Guardrail Suit On Eve Of Trial

Trinity Industries Inc. told a Dallas County judge Monday it had settled a product liability case over its allegedly defective guardrails the day before trial was set to begin in the suit brought by a North Carolina man who lost both his legs in a highway accident. Jay Scott Traylor had alleged Trinityâ??s negligence caused a guardrail on I-40 in North Carolina to pierce through the driverâ??s side floor, severing his legs. Had the guardrail met the design specifications it had won federal approval for, it would have absorbed the impact of Traylorâ??s car, the February 2014 complaint alleges.
