Former Northwestern University cheerleader Hayden Richardson says the recent lawsuits from athletes alleging sexual abuse and harassment reminded her of what she experienced.
“I’m incredibly saddened because that means other people went through the same experience that I did,” Hayden said adding, “Us going into tailgating lots or donor events, where people would sexually harass us or sexually assault us.
