Per the 58-page complaint, Richardson experienced being groped by drunken fans and alumni at university-sanctioned events. The program's head coach, Pam Bonnevier, apparently required women cheerleaders to "mingle" with donors for the school's financial gain.

“It became clear to [Richardson] that the cheerleaders were being presented as sex objects to titillate the men that funded the majority of Northwestern’s athletics programs,” the lawsuit read, per the Tribune. “After all, the happier these men were, the more money the University would receive from them.”

Richardson says that in 2018 to '19, older men touched her breasts and buttocks over her uniform, picked her up without her consent and made “sexually-charged comments” about her appearance, per the Tribune. Despite being underage, Richardson says men offered her alcoholic beverages and asked to meet with her later at said events.



We could do this. It would be wrong but we could do it

    I’m shocked. Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.

    No way! Cheer leading is about empowering women! It’s definitely not about giving a bunch of drunk horny men something to look at, while they’re watching a bunch of grown men grope each other on a grass field!

    A few years ago we had seats next to this couple. Dude was absolutely shameless...game would be to our left and he’s staring at the cheerleaders with his binoculars etc. Right in Front of his wife. Kudos to you for not even hiding it

    His daughter was one of the cheerleaders
