In a recent court filing, Haley Justice has brought a lawsuit against the Board of Regents of Texas Tech University System and Tanner Cearley. The case, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Lubbock Division, alleges that Justice was sexually assaulted by Cearley in November 2023 while both were students at Texas Tech University. Justice claims that the university demonstrated deliberate indifference to her case under Title IX regulations by pressuring her into an informal resolution process rather than pursuing a formal investigation and disciplinary action against Cearley. The complaint details the trauma and educational setbacks Justice faced following the incident and accuses Texas Tech of failing to provide adequate support or protection. Additionally, Justice seeks damages for sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress against Cearley.
