A judge has dismissed a lawsuit against former Baylor head football coach Art Briles, who was accused of negligence in a case involving a former female student who reported being physically assaulted by one of his players in 2014. 

U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman ruled Briles, former athletic director Ian McCaw and Baylor University were not negligent in the case. Judge Pitman said "no reasonable jury can conclude" that happened based on evidence that was presented during trial. 

Dolores Lozano, the plaintiff in the case, claimed the three defendants were negligent after reporting her first assault in March 2014, which led to more alleged abuse by Devin Chafin, a running back in the Bears' program who she had been dating.

Pitman also dismissed a federal Title IX lawsuit against the defendants. 

"I am happy for Coach Briles," his attorney, Reed Simpson, said after the rulings, per KWTX. "He did nothing wrong."

Briles and McCaw both testified in court Thursday, and Briles said he simply did not know about Lozano or her allegations of assault by Chafin until a lawsuit was filed in 2016.

McCaw noted that when he saw the report of the allegations from a staff member in 2014, he took the appropriate course of action, which included letting her know how to further the report.
