PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) -- Washington State University employee and former star quarterback Jason Gesser has been placed on home assignment following a new complaint of sexual misconduct.
School president Kirk Schulz and Director of Athletics Pat Chun say Gesser will work from home pending an investigation of the allegations.
They say Washington State University on Monday received the new accusation of sexual misconduct.
They say this is the first time that an individual who was directly involved in an alleged incident of sexual misconduct has filed a formal complaint against Gesser.
Last week, the school newspaper The Daily Evergreen revealed that WSU officials had investigated past allegations of sexual harassment against Gesser and found no violations of school policy.
Gesser also issued a statement last week saying the past allegations were without merit.
Gesser, 39, led the Cougars to back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2001 and 2002 and finished 7th in the 2002 Heisman Trophy voting. He currently serves as the assistant director of athletics at the Cougar Athletic Fund.
