BYU QB Jake Retzlaff reportedly transferring in wake of honor code suspension stemming from sexual assault allegation - Yahoo Sports https://share.google/fSzpJr55OGorz0qDd

Per ESPN's Pete Thamel, Retzlaff intends to transfer in anticipation of the suspension. Retzlaff is a graduate student and has a single year of eligibility remaining.

Retzlaff has denied the allegation that was made in a lawsuit filed in May. He contends that he had consensual sex with his accuser, which appears to be the reason that he's facing a suspension from BYU, rather than the sexual assault allegation.

Per the SLT, engaging in consensual premarital sex is a violation of the honor code at BYU, which is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Students at BYU are subject to a strict honor code that prohibits premarital sex and instructs students to ”live a chaste and virtuous life." Retzlaff is not Mormon, but the honor code rules apply to all BYU students.



What Retzlaff is accused of
A Salt Lake County woman referred to as Jane Doe A.G. accused Retzlaff of sexual assault in a lawsuit that was filed in May. Per the lawsuit, Retzlaff's accuser alleges that Retzlaff sexually assaulted her in 2023 in his home. The lawsuit states that she consented to kissing while in Retzlaff's room but "did not want to do anything more." She accuses Retzlaff of forcibly raping her after she repeatedly told him "no" and to "stop."

1. The Mormon church is notorious for protecting sexual criminals.

Mormon Stories has done countless segments on abusers who were told to "just stop" by the church and sent back to abuse their children without the abuser being reported to the police, and sexual assaults at BYU that were handled "internally," often with the victim being shamed and blamed.
