Falcons assistant LaTroy Lewis fired amid sexual assault allegations

"The Ann Arbor Police Department confirmed Friday to ESPN that it is currently investigating allegations of sexual assault against Lewis. Spokesperson Chris Page said the Ann Arbor PD was "just recently made aware" of the allegations, which stem from a Dec. 5, 2024 incident while Lewis was on the Michigan football staff."

"Lewis' behavior "became increasingly aggressive" over text and phone calls, Truszkowski said. The two met in person for the first time at Weber's Hotel in Ann Arbor in December 2024, where Truszkowski said Lewis was supposed to give back goods her client had given him. At the hotel, Lewis raped and battered her client, according to the attorney."

"In January 2025, officers from the Milford Police Department, north of Ann Arbor, responded to a call to the woman's home after neighbors heard raised voices, according to the incident report obtained by ESPN. Both Lewis and the woman told officers at the time that they had gotten into a verbal argument that was not physical, according to the report."

LaTroy Lewis was terminated from his position as assistant defensive line coach with the Atlanta Falcons following sexual assault allegations. The Ann Arbor Police Department is investigating claims stemming from a December 5, 2024 incident when Lewis was employed by Michigan football. According to the alleged victim's attorney, Lewis and the woman connected through a dating app in July 2024 and met in person at a hotel in Ann Arbor, where the alleged assault occurred. The woman filed an incident report and sought a protective order. A January 2025 police response to the woman's home documented a verbal altercation between Lewis and the woman, though no charges were filed at that time.
