A criminal investigation is now underway in Baton Rouge after an LSU student said she was sexually assaulted on campus in October 2025, with the East Baton Rouge District Attorney’s Office confirming Tuesday that the case involving an LSU football player has been brought in for review.
The student first described what she says happened in a TikTok video posted a week ago. In that video, she said the alleged assault took place around 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2025.
The identity of the football player accused has not been released.
East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said the matter had already gone through a campus-level investigatory and review process before reaching his office. He also said the LSU Police Department and the Baton Rouge Police Department have information tied to the case.
“We understand that the matter was previously addressed through a campus-level investigatory and review process and that the LSU Police Department and the Baton Rouge Police Department have information concerning the matter,” DA Hillar Moore said.
Moore said the case was first presented to the District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday. He added that he has asked LSU, LSU Police, Baton Rouge Police, the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office, and any other agency with relevant information to turn over reports, interviews, evidence, and other records.
LSU said it is aware of a formal police report alleging a sexual assault involving a student-athlete. The university said the incident happened in October 2025 and was first reported to police by the student-athlete himself, but no criminal complaint was filed.
LSU also said it completed its Title IX process in the case.
“LSU and its current administration take very seriously any allegations of misconduct involving students on our campuses. Safety and security must be our number one priority,” said President Rousse.
“Let me assure everyone that this incident has been handled professionally and that LSU has strictly followed our policies, procedures and best practices, including the Title IX process, to guide our actions to date. Now that a criminal complaint has been filed, our role is to continue cooperating with our law enforcement partners as they work through their investigatory process.”

Video from the scene quickly spread online, showing a physical struggle between an LSU fan and law enforcement that left visible injuries and gave the game an ugly side story LSU followers could not ignore.

LSU Loss Puts Sam Leavitt Under A Spotlight He Cant Escape
After LSUs loss to Ole Miss, the focus quickly shifted to Sam Leavitt, and not in a way any quarterback welcomes. Lane Kiffin stepped in to defend him, pointing first to the pressure Ole Miss brought and the way Leavitt had to operate with the rush closing in. Kiffin also made clear that Leavitts legs were a real part of the answer, even if the passing game never found the level LSU needed.
Leavitts performance now sits at the center of a larger conversation about what LSU can and cannot ask of its offense in tough matchups. Kiffins defense of the quarterback offered some context, but it also underscored the bigger issue: the Tigers still need cleaner execution through the air if they want to turn pressure-packed games into wins.

LSU Fans Still Can't Ignore What Ole Miss Exposed

In the wake of the game, a handful of Tigers fans weighed in on what they saw on both sides of the ball, offering a pretty clear read on where the frustration is coming from after a performance that left plenty to sort through.
The conversation has centered on how the offense will have to keep adjusting without star tight end TreyDez Green, along with a real concern about what happens if the defense has to line up against another mobile quarterback like Marcel Reed. Those are only fan views, not any official read from the program, but they reflect the kind of questions LSU supporters are carrying into the next stretch of the season. [Read more 🡒]
