Description
Two more former Indiana University basketball players have come forward saying an athletic doctor gave them inappropriate and unnecessary prostate and rectal exams during their annual physicals.
This now brings the total to at least three accusers.
Haris Mujezinovic played for IU from 1995-1997, and Charlie Miller played from 1994-1998. While they were both at IU, they allege they were sexually abused by Brad Bomba Sr. during their medical examinations.
Bomba served as the IU men’s basketball team physician for nearly 30 years and the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team physician under former IU head men's basketball coach Bob Knight. Bomba's work with the team ended in the late 1990s.
A class action complaint and demand for jury trial was filed by Mujezinovic and Miller against the Trustees of Indiana University. The complaint alleges that IU "systematically mishandled and turned a blind eye" to the sexual abuse complaints made by the basketball players at the time. The complaint also seeks "appropriate monetary relief," but doesn't specify how much.
According to the complaint, IU men’s basketball players were required to submit to annual physicals with doctors chosen and provided by IU. When Mujezinovic and Miller enrolled at IU and joined the basketball team, they were required to submit to a physical examination with Bomba, or the other doctor, for their exam.
