From Violated, by Lavigne and Schlabach:
From Chapter 26, discussing Title 9 Investigator Gabrielle Lyons' challenges doing basic investigation at Baylor:
(Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be the first time Baylor football players made employees uncomfortable on campus. In June 2009, Bears lineman Phil Taylor, six feet, four inches and 330 pounds, was cited with misdemeanor assault after he was seen pushing a parking service officer away from Taylor’s yellow Dodge Charger as Taylor grabbed a parking violation sticker out of the officer’s hands and ripped it up. He allegedly said to the officer, “Don’t let me catch you on the [ profanity ] streets.” That parking service officer and two others filed complaints with campus police about repeated harassment from football players and strength coach Kaz Kazadi who the officers said were mocking them or calling them names and being belligerent until police officers arrived to intervene. One officer who asked for a disciplinary report on Kazadi wrote it was his second run-in with the coach, who the officer said that during a previous altercation gave an eye gesture that the officer took to mean “I better watch my back.”)
From Chapter 31:
According to her lawsuit, Erica told her mom, who would end up arranging to meet an assistant coach on July 11, 2012, at McAlister’s Deli in Waco, where she gave him the names of the players Erica said were involved in her alleged assault. “Not surprisingly, [Erica’s] mother never heard from the assistant football coach again,” the lawsuit states. That coach was former strength and conditioning coach Kaz Kazadi, according to several sources.
Kazadi called two of the accused players into his office and questioned them, according to a legal filing by three Baylor regents in a 2017 defamation lawsuit (although the filing only referred to him as the coach who had met Erica’s mom in the deli). The players insisted the sex was consensual and that they were just “fooling around” and it was “just a little bit of playtime.” According to Briles’s attorney, Kazadi told Briles in passing that he had met with the mother of a volleyball player who was concerned about her daughter “partying” with football players. “Briles asked if there was anything else ‘we needed to do’ and Kaz said no,” attorney Mark Lanier wrote in an email, adding that the first Briles heard it was a [ Baylor accusations ] allegation was from Barnes in April 2013. It’s unknown who else Kazadi told at the time, and he did not respond to requests for an interview.
