17 Intelligence agencies confirm Bobby Knight did not grope heinie at agency visits
2017-07-08
[AyPee] WASHINGTON (AP) -- The FBI and the U.S. Army investigated complaints from four women that Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Knight groped them or touched them inappropriately during a visit to a U.S. spy agency in 2015, an investigation that concluded a year later without charges, The Washington Post reported Friday.

One of the women, whose name The Post did not disclose, told the newspaper that Knight groped her on the buttocks shortly before he gave a speech to staffers at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency at its headquarters in Springfield, Virginia. The woman also filed a discrimination complaint against the NGA and the Defense Department in which she claimed she was pressured to drop the matter, The Post reported.

An attorney representing Knight, James Voyles, acknowledged to The Post that FBI agents interviewed Knight at his home in Montana last year and said the investigation was dropped shortly thereafter.

"There is absolutely no credible evidence to support this in our opinion, these allegations," Voyles said, adding that the FBI agents "reported to their superiors that there was no basis for any further action, period."

Knight, 76, did not comment to The Post, but his wife, Karen Knight, told the newspaper in a text message: "Bob did nothing wrong and there is NO evidence to prove that he did. Case closed."

#5  Bobby might have thrown a chair at or sworn at these women but he wouldn't grope them--He's got more class than that.

#4  Couldn't prove he did it, couldn't prove he didn't, therefor no recommendation for action against either him or accusers (four accusers is suggestive of a problem, but don't recall a history of that kind of accusations against Knight.)

#2  What is the punishment for 'thou shall not bear false witness'? You get more of what you tolerate.
