    Florida men’s basketball coach Todd Golden has been accused of sexual harassment and stalking women, according to a report by the Gainesville Sun and other media outlets.

    On September 27, a Title IX complaint was filed regarding Golden’s conduct. In that complaint, he was accused of conduct that may have violated the school’s gender equality policy. The Gainesville Sun, part of the USA TODAY Network, obtained a copy of the complaint.

    The Alligator, Florida’s student publication, was the first to report the complaint in a story published Friday.

    Golden, 39, is in his third season at Florida after spending the previous three years in San Francisco.

    Golden is accused of sexual exploitation, sexual harassment and stalking, which occurred over the course of a year, according to the Title IX complaint. The sexual harassment claims include “unwanted sexual advances on Instagram, soliciting sexual favors, sending photos and videos of his genitals while traveling for UF, and several instances of stalking.”

    In response to questions about the Title IX complaint, university spokesperson Cynthia Roldan Hernandez issued a statement to the Gainesville Sun: “To comply with federal law, the university cannot comment on or confirm any questions, complaints or investigations regarding Title IX. ”

    The Alligator said it spoke with two women, both former students, who confirmed the details in the Title IX complaint. The complaint was sent anonymously to the Gainesville Sun and other local media outlets.

    Under Golden, the Gators were 24-12 last season when they were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

    Florida, which has started 2-0 this season, will play Grambling State on Monday.
