Latroy Lewis: Dismissal and investigation
The Atlanta Falcons dismissed Lewis on Friday amid an investigation by Ann Arbor police. Police said they were "recently made aware of allegations regarding a sexual assault reported to have occurred on December 5, 2024. " No charges have been filed against Lewis at this time.
Allegations detailed by the woman's attorney
The woman's attorney, Karen Truszkowski, says the woman met Lewis through a dating app in July 2024 and that the two were in a long-distance relationship before meeting in person in December 2024, when the attorney alleges Lewis assaulted her. Truszkowski also says the woman was allegedly assaulted again in January 2025 and that the woman reported that second incident to Sherrone Moore while he was head coach at Michigan.
Truszkowski says Lewis contacted her client after the alleged assault, but details on the woman's interactions with Moore and Lewis after the alleged assaults were not disclosed. Truszkowski says her client decided to come forward to the university after learning of Moore's firing in December 2025 and his ensuing court case. Truszkowski also represents Brenda Tracy in an ongoing case involving former Michigan State coach Mel Tucker.
Responses from attorneys and employment timeline
Lewis' attorney, Fabiola A. Galguera, stated that Lewis "intends to fiercely fight these false allegations. " Moore's attorney, Ellen Michaels, issued a denial of the new claims, saying, "Sherrone Moore did not fail to report misconduct, did not reward wrongdoing, and did not harass anyone. These claims are false. "
Background employment details included in the public record note that Lewis previously worked as an assistant at the University of Michigan before he was hired in 2025 by the University of Toledo. He was hired earlier this month by the Falcons as an assistant defensive line coach and was dismissed by the team on Friday amid the police inquiry.
Sherrone Moore's firing and related university actions
Sherrone Moore was fired on December 10, 2025, after a university investigation found he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. He was arrested hours after his firing on allegations that he barged into that woman's home and threatened to harm himself; charges were brought for home invasion, breaking and entering and stalking. After Moore's firing, the university announced it had launched an investigation into the athletic department and initiated a broader culture review.
Paul Corliss, the assistant vice president for Public Affairs and Internal Communications at the university, said the allegations are deeply concerning and that the university launched both the investigation that led to Moore's firing and a broader culture review of the Athletic Department. He urged anyone with relevant information to reach out to the law firm conducting the investigation; the public record includes a statement that "the work is ongoing, " followed by an incomplete sentence that is unclear in the provided context.
Legal posture and next steps
Truszkowski says no legal action has been filed against Moore or Lewis at this time. Ann Arbor police continue their investigation into the allegations involving the incidents on December 5, 2024, and the later reported January 2025 incident. With Lewis dismissed from his NFL role and no charges currently filed, the situation remains fluid and may evolve as investigators and the university review new information.
What remains unclear
Details on the woman's interactions with Moore and Lewis after the alleged assaults were not disclosed in the material provided. The university statement ends with an unfinished sentence that is unclear in the provided context. The investigation by law enforcement and the university's broader review remain ongoing.
