Bunn met for an interview with investigators the following day. During the interview he told them, "I appreciate y'all's professionalism. And I appreciate the way y'all have handled this."

"If it was me on the other side, I'd want to do the same thing for me," the investigator responded to Bunn.

Back at UA a month later, Rondini met with Women and Gender Resource Center counselor Kathy Echols and told her about the alleged assault.

Echols told Rondini at the end of the conversations that the two could no longer meet because she knew Bunn and his family personally and it would be a conflict of interest. Rondini felt "betrayed and disheartened" that she had revealed the details of her alleged assault to a close friend of Bunn's, according to the suit.

Rondini eventually transferred

"The allegations against my client as set forth in this baseless lawsuit are simply false. No sexual assault occurred," Bunn's lawyer told CBS.

Business Insider has reached out to the University of Alabama for comment.
