Buffalo Bills cornerback Maxwell Hairston, the team’s first-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft, is at the center of a civil lawsuit alleging sexual assault during his time at the University of Kentucky.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Fayette County, Kentucky, was brought by Ohio resident Rebecca Hendryx, who says the assault happened in March 2021-when both she and Hairston were freshmen living in the same campus dorm. She claims Hairston entered her room uninvited, ignored her repeated rejections, and sexually assaulted her.
Hairston has not been criminally charged. His representatives, as well as the Bills, have not responded directly to the lawsuit. The team instead pointed to comments made by GM Brandon Beane back in April, shortly after Hairston was drafted. Beane said the team had looked into a past allegation and concluded there was “nothing there,” describing Hairston as “an impeccable kid,” according to The Athletic.
What We Know About the Allegation
Hendryx says she went to police within hours of the alleged assault and received a forensic exam at a local hospital. Her attorneys say they won’t release documents related to law enforcement or the university, citing confidentiality concerns.
Lexington Police said they could not find a report matching the incident. The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment. The University of Kentucky also declined to speak about the case, though spokesperson Dani Jaffe told USA Today that all sexual assault claims involving students are thoroughly investigated.
According to the lawsuit, Hendryx transferred out of Kentucky later that year.
While the legal process plays out, the Bills-along with the league-may find themselves under renewed scrutiny over how they evaluate off-field behavior in their draft process. Hairston was considered one of the top defensive prospects in this year’s class and is expected to play a key role in Buffalo’s secondary.
The NFL has not commented on the situation.

Los dos bombazos del Madrid: Llull a 10 metros y Okeke ¡desde su campo!
Finalizaba el tercer cuarto y el Madrid tenía el partido más o menos bajo control. Pero un triple de Pelos a 57 segundos (65-54) dio paso a las dos canastas del partido. Y ambas del Madrid.La primera fue de Sergio Llull, que como siempre, desde tres, hace fácil lo que para otros es imposible. Buscaba la jugada pero le dieron un metro y lo aprovechó. El base lanzó un tiro desde unos 10 metros que voló por el Movistar Arena hasta caer limpiamente en una jugada muy celebrada por el público. Habría una mejor.Tras la canasta de Kuath, llegó la de Chuma Okeke... desde su campo. Recibió de Fernando, que sacó de fondo, dio apenas un bote y casi desde la ll´nea de tres de su propio campo, acertó Okeke, sobre la bocina y tras tocar en el tablero. Los […]

Un español que da clases en Vietnam cuenta cómo logra ahorrar más que en España
En España se vive relativamente cómodo, pero cuando los trabajadores viajan a otros países, uno de los problemas que más identifican es que aquí no hay una correlación entre los sueldos y el nivel de vida. Mientras que unos se mantienen congelados, el otro no para de subir. Eso significa que ahorrar con asiduidad cantidades importantes es prácticamente imposible.Cuando la mayoría se percata de esto, toma la decisión de irse a vivir a otros países para intentar conseguir más dinero. Normalmente, lo consiguen. Este es el caso de David Jimenez, un español que decidió mudarse a Vietnam cuando se enteró de que buscaban profesores de inglés. Han pasado los meses y está muy orgulloso de su decisión. Así cuenta lo que ha supuesto en el ámbito económico para él.Un profesor español, en el extranjero: “En Vietnam se puede vivir con […]
