Fox News
"Cheer" star Monica Aldama is being sued by a former Navarro College squad member who says she was sexually assaulted by a teammate and the head coach allegedly helped cover it up.
Teammate Salvatore "Salvo" Amico allegedly entered her dorm room Sept. 1, 2021, crawled into her bed and began ripping off her underwear and pants, the lawsuit states. "The veterans pointed guns [at] plaintiff and [her boyfriend] and threatened to kill them for reporting the assault." Rebecca Rosenberg is a veteran journalist and book author with a focus on crime and criminal justice. Email tips to rebecca.rosenberg@fox.com and @ReRosenberg.
"Plaintiff screamed at Salvo to stop, and tried to keep him from removing her clothes," but the veteran cheerleader allegedly "groped her chest and then inserted his fingers into her vagina," the suit charges.
