Just 17 days after he was hired as the Falcons’ assistant defensive line coach, LaTroy Lewis has been accused of rape in Michigan, according to a report from Darko State News.
The Falcons issued a report on Friday, stating:
“We are aware of allegations regarding LaTroy Lewis. We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time.”
According to the report, this occurred while Lewis was on the University of Michigan’s coaching staff. The report claims Lewis not only sexually assaulted the accuser, but harassed her, allegedly sending texts to the accuser that said “I’m going to fuck you up,” and “I’d fucking kill you! Don’t play with me.”
The report also claims the accuser reported the rape to then-Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore, who was a mandated reporter of sexual assault under both Title IX and the university’s policies. Moore allegedly failed to report the assault, gave Lewis a raise, and allegedly sexually harassed the accuser himself, per the report.
The alleged assault took place in 2024. Lewis spent 2025 as the University of Toledo’s defensive line coach. He accepted a job with UConn before jumping to the NFL with the offer to join Atlanta’s staff.
Sherrone Moore was fired by the University of Michigan on Dec. 10, 2025, after the university became aware that he’d had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Moore was arrested the same day and charged with felony home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering.
The Falcoholic is working to obtain the police report and confirm any further details. We will update this story as more information becomes available.
