A Sacramento State men’s basketball player reached a “mutual agreement” with a student volunteer who accused him of sexual harassment, said Leonard Valdez, a judicial officer with Student Affairs.

The player, who will remain anonymous, will not be punished by coach Jerome Jenkins, who said he still doesn’t “even know what happened” concerning the alleged incident in a campus dormitory room in early February.

Valdez would not release the terms of the agreement between the player and accuser. The accuser wanted to remain anonymous for safety reasons.

Residence hall adviser Mary Stowes confirmed that she received a verbal complaint that accused the player of harassment on Feb. 14.

The accuser, who said he did not file a police report, told The State Hornet on Feb. 16 that a player attempted to grab his crotch and that, while doing so, made verbal remarks that made him feel uncomfortable. This account of the incident differed from his Feb. 15 statement, when he told the Hornet that the player grabbed his crotch.

The incident, according to the accuser, occurred inside his dorm room.

Valdez said Student Affairs first learned of the incident through a Feb. 16 article on The State Hornet’s Web site. The judicial officer said he met with both parties before they reached an agreement.

Jenkins said his players would be attending educational classes about sexual harassment.

“My guys know if they disrespect anybody in any way it won’t be tolerated,” the coach said.The accuser said he no longer works with the athletic department.
