A book by an escort alleging that former Louisville staffer Andre McGee brought escorts into dorm parties, and paid for the women to strip and have sex with the Cardinals’ recruits, their fathers and players is available online.
Louisville is investigating allegations by Katina Powell in the upcoming book, “Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen,” from a publishing affiliate of the Indianapolis Business Journal. The 104-page book was available early Saturday, but some details were published on the Journal’s web site on Friday.
The escort said during a four-year period many of the activities took place in the players’ dormitory.
Louisville officials say they learned of the allegations in late August and immediately notified the NCAA. McGee left Louisville in 2014 to become an assistant at Missouri-Kansas City. That school put McGee on paid leave Friday night and issued a statement saying the allegations were being taken seriously.
The age of consent to have sexual intercourse in Kentucky is 16, though in some instances it could be 18. It is unclear if a criminal investigation has also been launched in light of the allegations.
