Seventeen more former male athletes from N.C. State have joined a state lawsuit accusing the Wolfpack’s former director of sports medicine of sexual abuse disguised as medical treatment and of harassment, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to 31. The case dates back more than three years to a federal lawsuit filed by a single athlete.
The complaint submitted late last week in Wake County Superior Court broadens allegations against Robert L. Murphy Jr., describing years of misconduct that included inappropriate genital contact during massages and invasive monitoring while athletes provided urine samples for drug testing.
