How CU Boulder Football's Sexual Assault Scandal Set a Precedent for #MeToo

Almost 20 years ago, Erika Krouse took a job as a private investigator. Her first big case? A massive sexual assault scandal that was exposing a toxic culture of abuse within CU Boulder’s prized football program. Krouse’s new book, “Tell Me Everything: The Story of A Private Investigation,” is part true crime thriller and part memoir, as she weaves together her recollections of the case with the story of her own experience with sexual assault. City Cast Denver newsletter writer Peyton Garcia sits down with Krouse to talk about what it was like going up against an institution as powerful as the University of Colorado, how she saw her own story in the stories of the victims, and the legacy of the case today. 

Warning: While there are no graphic descriptions, this episode contains discussions about sexual assault.

If this is your first time hearing about the scandal at the heart of Krouse’s book, ESPN has a full timeline right here.
