Fired University of Michigan Football Coach Charged with Stalking
The former University of Michigan football coach, John Doe, has been charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend, Jane Smith. The incident occurred in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last Thursday, with reports indicating that the coach had been following and harassing Smith for several weeks.
According to the police report, Smith had filed multiple complaints against Doe, alleging that he had been showing up unannounced at her workplace and residence. The university administration promptly terminated Doe’s contract upon hearing about the charges.
In a brief statement to the press, Doe’s legal representative denied the allegations, claiming that his client had no intention of causing any harm to Smith. However, Smith’s lawyer argued that the evidence against Doe is overwhelming and emphasized the importance of taking stalking cases seriously.
The case has caused quite a stir within the university community, with many expressing shock and disbelief at the allegations against a well-respected figure like Doe. The university has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of all its staff and students.
The court date for the stalking charges against John Doe is set for next month, where more details about the case are expected to emerge.
