UPDATED: Lesticles speaks thru attorney | As The Corndogs Fry

Peter Ginsberg, Miles’ attorney, provided the following statement to WAFB on behalf of his client:

“This lawsuit is a work of fiction eight years in the making. The manner in which Ms. Lewis and her counsel have slowly rolled out this lawsuit is telling, culminating in her counsel holding a press conference rather than having the pleading speak for itself and pronouncing that the lawsuit is for “other women,” implicitly acknowledging that the named plaintiff is a deeply flawed party without a valid claim. Les Miles has no liability in this matter, the accusations against him are false and meritless, and he will be responding by bringing his own claims addressing Ms. Lewis’ malicious and false accusations.”

LSU blocked that request with a letter to lawmakers Wednesday, saying that "persons associated with" the university cannot answer questions under oath because of the pending lawsuit.

Lewis is filing the lawsuit Wednesday alleging LSU and her bosses in the athletics department covered up misconduct.
The committee had asked both Ed Orgeron and Scott Woodward to attend that same hearing, but both said Tuesday that they planned to dodge in-person questioning.

The committee also received a letter Tuesday from Vicki Crochet, the attorney at Taylor Porter law firm who performed the 2013 sexual harassment investigation into Miles. Crochet wrote that her "ethical and legal duties that prohibit me from sharing information about Taylor Porter's representation of LSU." She wrote that both Miles and the student who accused him of sexual harassment demanded "absolute privacy."

"Furthermore, though we found that he acted inappropriately, Les Miles adamantly denied most of the allegations," Crochet wrote. "The complainant and her lawyer were consulted throughout our review and agreed with the corrective measures that were implemented by LSU. We stand behind our analysis and the thorough work we did for LSU."
