A civil lawsuit has accused Texas Tech sophomore Pop Isaacs of sexually assaulting a minor. A copy of the lawsuit was first obtained by ESPN.
The alleged incident took place in November during a Red Raiders team trip to the Bahamas. The team traveled to Paradise Island to compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis basketball tournament.
The alleged victim was 17 years old at the time. An individual must be at least 16-years-old in order to give consent in the Bahamas. However, the lawsuit states that the female was under the influence at the time, negating her ability to give consent.
The lawsuit is seeking $1 million in damages. Texas Tech released a statement on Friday saying that Isaacs, "remains in good standing."
