At Issue:
In August 2018, University of Wisconsin football star Quintez Cephus was suspended indefinitely from the team when two women accused him of sexual assault. Soon after, he was expelled. A year later, Cephus was acquitted of all charges. Though UW reinstated Cephus in August of 2019 and he was drafted by the Detroit Lions the following spring, damage had been done. Cephus’s attorney, Andrew T. Miltenberg, said making it to the NFL is a second chance few others get.
Outcome:
Though Cephus was ultimately drafted, Miltenberg filed suit on his behalf to help prevent what happened to him from happening to other student-athletes. “What we’re arguing for is not who’s right or wrong,” says Miltenberg. “It’s for the process.”
