Update 12/3/19 3:30 p.m.:

Georgetown University released a statement on Tuesday clarifying that Josh LeBlanc and James Akinjo had both been released from the Georgetown basketball team because they “expressed an interest in transferring from the University.” The allegations of assault, threats, and burglary against three members of the team (including LeBlanc) are unrelated to LeBlanc and Akinjo’s departure, per the statement.

Akinjo is not involved in any of the allegations against the other members of his team.

The university again declined to comment specifically on the allegations against LeBlanc and his teammates, Myron Gardner and Galen Alexander. The statement says that Georgetown investigates all student complaints of misconduct thoroughly, and that “if sanctions are imposed by the Office of Student Conduct, coaches may impose additional disciplinary actions, including removal from the team.”

All student athletes at Georgetown are required to complete an educational course on interpersonal violence and sexual assault, the statement says.

Original:

A woman has filed restraining orders against three Georgetown University basketball players after she says one of them sexually harassed and assaulted her and all three burglarized her home, according to court records.

Myron Gardner, Josh LeBlanc, and Galen Alexander are all named in court documents. In her complaint, which the female Georgetown University student filed on November 12, she alleges that all three players have been sending her threatening messages since she reported the sexual harassment, assault, and robbery to the police (DCist does not name victims without their consent). She requests that all three men “stay away from me and my home” and refrain from contacting her “in any shape or form.”

The student said in court filings that Gardner sexually harassed and assaulted her in her home in September. In a police report on the incident, officers said the victim “reported the suspect showing her his erect clothed penis.”

At a later date in September, Gardner, LeBlanc, and Alexander allegedly stole various items from the woman’s home, including a PlayStation 4 with two controllers, a Nikon camera and its lens, and a pair of shoes, per another police report. A roommate reportedly called one of the players via FaceTime to confront him about the theft, and the player said “if you tell anyone we’ll send people after you,” according to the report.

The victim’s roommate, also a Georgetown University student, had filed a separate, earlier restraining order against LeBlanc and Alexander on November 5. Her complaint does not include Gardner, or allegations of sexual harassment or assault. In her complaint, that woman alleges that LeBlanc has issued “threats against my personal safety and well-being,” and has been intimidating her friends as well. She said she also fears for her safety from Alexander, who is LeBlanc’s “best friend on the basketball team.” She accuses the men of threatening her with bodily injury if she reported the burglary she says they committed.

“In response to an alleged burglary that I believe Joshua LeBlanc committed against me on September 16, 2019, Joshua threatened bodily harm against myself and my roommate,” her complaint says. “He continued to threaten me verbally and via text message in the following week.”

The women have filed police reports regarding the alleged assault, burglary, and threats with the Metropolitan Police Department and the Georgetown University Police Department, according to court records.

On Monday, Georgetown basketball coach Patrick Ewing announced that LeBlanc and teammate James Akinjo had been removed from the team and would not play for the rest of the season. The coach did not give a reason for either departure, though The Athletic reports that Akinjo’s departure was a personal decision that is unrelated to the court cases involving his teammates. Akinjo is not mentioned in court documents that accuse LeBlanc, Alexander, and Gardner.

Georgetown University declined to comment on the case specifically, but said that the university “takes student conduct issues very seriously and ensures that they are investigated thoroughly” and that “we have processes for investigating and adjudicating alleged violations of our student code that are fair to both parties.”

The university says it will have updates on the case later on Tuesday.

The judge in the case granted the November 5 restraining order against LeBlanc and Alexander. The November 12 restraining order is scheduled for a hearing on December 9.

Despite being served the restraining orders last month, the three men played in Georgetown’s Saturday game against the University of North Carolina.
