Falcons Fire LaTroy Lewis Amid Sexual Assault Investigation

The Atlanta Falcons recently terminated assistant coach LaTroy Lewis following reports of a criminal investigation into sexual assault allegations. These accusations originate from a December 2024 incident in Michigan, occurring while Lewis was employed by the University of Michigan’s football program. Legal representatives for the victim claim the encounter was violent, while Lewis’s attorney has vowed to contest the charges. The situation also involves claims that former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore failed to report the misconduct properly. This dismissal adds to a period of legal turmoil for the Falcons organization, which also recently dealt with the felony arrest of linebacker James Pearce Jr.
