Falcons assistant LaTroy Lewis fired amid sexual assault allegations - ESPN

The Atlanta Falcons dismissed LaTroy Lewis from his role as assistant defensive line coach Friday after sexual assault allegations surfaced against him, the team announced.

The Ann Arbor Police Department confirmed Friday to ESPN that it is currently investigating allegations of sexual assault against Lewis. Spokesperson Chris Page said the Ann Arbor PD was «just recently made aware» of the woman's allegations, which stem from a Dec. 5, 2024, incident while Lewis was on the Michigan football staff.

Lewis did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, Paul Corliss, a spokesperson for Michigan, called the allegations «deeply concerning.»

Karen Truszkowski, the woman's attorney, told ESPN that her client filed an incident report with the Ann Arbor PD and applied for a protective order against Lewis earlier this week.

Truszkowski said her client and Lewis met on a dating app and started communicating in July 2024, while Lewis was an assistant defensive line coach at Michigan. Lewis' behavior «became increasingly aggressive» over text and phone calls, Truszkowski said.

The two met in person for the first time at Weber's Hotel in Ann Arbor in December 2024, where Truszkowski said Lewis was supposed to give back goods her client had given him. According to the attorney, Lewis raped and battered her client at the hotel.

The woman informed then-Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore, whom she knew personally, about the incident, according to her attorney. But Moore did not report Lewis and «weaponized» the incident against the woman, Truszkowski said, including sending her lewd and sexually charged text messages.

Moore's attorney, Ellen Michaels, denied the allegations in a statement to ESPN.
