Falcons Fire Assistant Coach LaTroy Lewis After Sexual Assault Allegation Surfaces

Ann Arbor police say they opened an active investigation into a reported Dec. 5, 2024 assault in the city as Lewis denies the claim through his attorney.

Overview

  • Lewis was hired on Feb. 10 and dismissed on Feb. 27, hours after Justin Spiro publicized an allegation tied to Lewis’s time on Michigan’s staff in 2023–24.
  • Ann Arbor police say detectives launched an active, ongoing probe into the reported Dec. 5, 2024 incident and note the department typically does not name individuals unless charges are filed.
  • The accuser’s attorney says she filed an incident report and sought a protective order, and alleges a separate January 2025 dispute at the woman’s Milford apartment prompted a 911 call with no charges.
  • The accuser and her lawyer say she told then‑Michigan coach Sherrone Moore and that he failed to report it; Moore’s attorney denies those claims.
  • The University of Michigan calls the allegations deeply concerning, citing an ongoing review of Moore’s conduct and the athletic department’s culture, while Lewis’s attorney says he will fight the accusation.
