District Court in Indianapolis, alleging former athletic trainer Michael Howell sexually abused them and that they were not the only ones he victimized.

The separate lawsuits detailed how Howell allegedly shared pornographic video clips and, for one of the players, threatened to reveal a picture he had with potentially damaging information to silence her.

Howell would also allegedly use hotel massages and special training sessions outside his daily work schedule "to build trust, isolate, and weaponized the young women’s desires to be the best athletes they could be," according to the lawsuit.
