Sanderson denied the investigation played a part in his departure.asstastic wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 2:01 pmCould you show me where he is quoted as saying “there were no texts”?StatedImprovement wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:42 pm1st the scumbag says there were NO texts.....
Then he "claims" the texts that 'never happened' were merely taken out of context?
Nothing but brutal honesty there.....
“Not one bit. I would’ve resigned if there had not been any of this going on,” Sanderson said, noting his father’s condition.
Just and Sanderson met in July 2017 and “appeared to have a cordial professional relationship” in their first interactions, according to the report. Just alleges that Sanderson touched her buttocks twice in the same evening at the Big Sky football kickoff event in July 2018. Sanderson contends he didn’t do it and no eyewitnesses saw the event. However, the report said several people saw them in the same area and room, and witnesses said she told them about the event almost immediately after she alleged it happened. Those witnesses said she appeared shaken, and reported that she told them he had touched her buttocks.
Just also provided text messages she received from Sanderson to Maxson from Feb. 24, 2018. Because Sanderson told the investigator he was attempting to obtain copies of his texts with Just directly from Verizon Wireless to confirm what was sent and received, Maxson concluded that the text message string “more likely than not” was authentic.
The texts Just provided to investigators include ones Sanderson wrote to her during the early morning of Feb. 24, including:
“Come down here. We can get drunk and make bad decisions! Lol!!!”
“Looks like we have a love connection!!”
“Don’t fight it…”
Just responded to the last text with, “Considering I’m not interested…”
“Got someone else you’re interested in? Hmmmmmmmmmmm? I’m nosey!” Sanderson replied.
“I f--king hate you,” Just replied.
“No you don’t. You LOVE me… And you know it! Hahahaha It’s ok, I won’t tell!” Sanderson replied.
A couple hours later, at 3:19 a.m., Sanderson sent another text to Just.
“We have a shoot around at 9. If you wanna get together at like 10:30, I’d love to see more of you Lol…I’m trying SO hard not to say something inappropriately flirty. Haha. I don’t care really. Where would you want to go?”
Sanderson said the texts have been taken out context.
“If somebody wants to read them as sexually suggestive that’s fine,” Sanderson said. “They were not intended that way. I viewed her as friend and it was just one friend ribbing another, me giving her a hard time. That’s it.”
In his interview with Maxson, “Mr. Sanderson became visibly angry and denied sending any texts to Ms. Just,” the report said.
In her initial complaint, Just said Sanderson made two other comments that helped persuade her to come forward.
Sanderson told Just that she had “Amazing tits.” Sanderson denied he ever said that, but a witness corroborated Just’s assertion, the report said.
Just also said Sanderson had made the comment that the hardest part of his job was “not f--king the players.” When asked about this statement, he said he only covered male athletes. Further questioning pointed out that Sanderson covered female athletes at New Mexico State, and Sanderson replied that he “never said” the second comment alleged by Just. Another witness said Sanderson did actually make that comment.
