When it rains, it truly pours. Derrius Guice is finding out the hard way as he is facing new allegations this week after two women who attended LSU said they were raped by former Tigers running back Derrius Guice months apart in 2016.
Kenny Jacoby and Nancy Armour of USA Today reported Wednesday the student’s allegations were shared with at least two coaches, an athletics administrator, and nurse but the report says the school does not appear to have investigated.
Both women said they were assaulted in their own apartments after nights of heavy drinking. One woman said Guice entered her room while she was sleeping and raped her during a party that she was hosting. The other woman, a former LSU Tennis player, said Guice raped her after she met him for the first time at a bar.
One woman said Guice later threatened to “get his gun” during a confrontation about the alleged sexual assault.
“I was drunk and passed out on my bed,” the other woman, a former member of LSU’s tennis team, told USA Today. “I never gave him consent. I never wanted to have sex with him. I don’t even remember except the flashbacks I had. I just wonder sometimes, does he even know that that was wrong?”
The report said neither woman reported the incidents to law enforcement.
In a statement to the newspaper, Guice’s attorney Peter D. Greenspun denied the allegations.

“At no time were allegations of physical or sexual assault brought against Derrius during his years as a student-athlete at LSU,” Greenspun said. “To bring up such assertions only after the Virginia charges were initiated certainly calls into question the credibility, nature and timing of what is being alleged years later.”
The Washington Football Team released Guice in early August after he was charged in multiple domestic violence incidents. The 23-year-old turned himself in and was released on $10,000 bond.
Washington selected Guice in the second round of the 2018 draft out of LSU. It is unlikely any team will sign him now or ever again.
