The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court
in Kentucky by a woman who claims Hairston entered her dorm room
without being invited, ignored her when she said didn't want to
have sexual intercourse, forcibly removed her bottoms and
sexually assaulted her. The Associated Press does not typically
name alleged victims of sexual assault.
Texts seeking comment Wednesday were sent to agents for
Hairston.
The Bills had no comment and referred to statements made by
general manager Brandon Beane in April during the draft. Beane
said at the time the team had “fully investigated” a sexual
assault allegation from 2021 involving Hairston, who he called
“an impeccable kid.”
“So that’s unfortunate when things like that are attached to
someone’s name. And in this case, doesn’t seem to be anything
there,” Beane said.
Hairston is from West Bloomfield, Michigan, and spent three
seasons playing at Kentucky (2022-’24) before being selected by
the Bills in the first round — 30th overall — of the NFL draft
in April. The 21-year-old Hairston is being given the
opportunity to win a starting job at cornerback this season.
The Bills have been off since completing their mandatory
practices in mid-June, and return later this month for the start
of training camp.
