(CNN) — A former sports reporter has accused newly appointed Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton of sexual assault, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
Kelli Tennant said she sustained physical injuries and suffered mental and emotional distress after Walton forced himself on her in a Santa Monica, California, hotel room while he was an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors. Tennant says in the suit that Walton continued to make unwanted advances toward her following the alleged incident.
No date is given for the alleged assault.
"He knew, based on her reaction at the hotel, that his sexual assault was unwelcomed and unwanted," the lawsuit says. "Despite knowing all of this, Defendant Walton did it anyway, continuing to physically assault her by conduct and actions that demonstrated his view that she was simply a 'piece of meat' available for his pleasure, despite her clear lack of consent or interest."
