Guice accused of LSU rapes

-

Two women say former Washington running back Derrius Guice raped them while they were students at LSU.

Guice was cut by the Washington Football Team earlier this month after being charged with domestic violence. The LSU cases, reported by USA Today, are separate.

The women say they and their friends and family discussed the incidents with multiple LSU coaches and officials, who ultimately ignored them or concealed Guice’s actions. The women did not report the assaults to law enforcemen­t.
