According to a report by The Alligator, Florida head basketball coach Todd Golden has been accused by an “undefined number of women for sexual harassment and stalking.”
The report states that the University received a Title IX report on September 27th alleging that third-year Gators head coach “engaged in various conduct that potentially violated the UF Gender Equity Policy.”

The formal Title IX complaint against Golden obtained by The Alligator includes allegations of sexual exploitation, sexual harassment and stalking. The complaint alleges that over a year, Golden specifically aimed these behaviors toward UF students.
The claims regarding sexual harassment, which could also include sexual exploitation, cited sending photos and videos of his genitalia while traveling for UF, unwanted sexual advances on Instagram, requesting sexual favors, and various occasions of stalking.
There was allegedly more than one occasion in which Golden was taking photos of women walking or driving and sending those pictures to the subjects involved. Various stalking incidents also included Golden showing up to locations where he knew the women would be.
