Murphy, 54, was arrested Wednesday night in Florida just days after a grand jury indicted the former Wolfpack athletic official on 30-plus charges, including 9 felony "sexual contact under the guise of medical treatment" counts and 23 sexual battery counts.

Murphy ran N.C. State's sports medicine program for a decade. He was suspended in January 2022 after a former soccer player, Ben Locke, filed a criminal complaint with police, accusing the trainer of abuse that started in 2015.

He resigned in June 2022 after the university moved to fire him.
