A 74-year-old grandmother claimed she was sexually harassed by NFL player Derrius Guice.
Gloria Scott broke down in tears as she recalled how Guice, who was a football player for Louisiana State University at that time, sexually harassed her while she was working as a security guard at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
“I’m not just here for myself,” Scott expressed.
“I just had to come here today and let you all know that LSU hides a lot of things. A whole lot of things are going on on that campus,” Scott said as she spoke to lawmakers.
“He scarred me.”
The grandmother said that Guice approached her with his friends while she was at the stadium.
Guice, who was 20 at that time, allegedly told her: “I like to f**k women like you, you older women, because y’all know y’all like us young men to f**k y’all.”
The football player allegedly told Scott: “You know you want this body.” He also rubbed himself up and down while touching his private parts.
His friends just watched and laugh as Guide allegedly made those remarks.
“My grandsons are not like this,” Scott told Guice, but he allegedly replied: “F**k your grandsons. They don’t know nothing, you and I are going to the hotel so I could f**k you.”
The grandmother told the Senate hearing: “I was so hurt, and I was so nervous and upset. In all my life, I’d never had a man or child talk to me so disrespectful like he did.”
Scott said she reported the incident to LSU but she only received a call from football coach Ed Orgeron.
She then urged the coach to keep Guice out of an upcoming bowl game to teach him a lesson but her request was never fulfilled.
The coach denies ever speaking with the grandmother.
"I had to come here today and let you all know that LSU hides a lot of things… This didn't happen on the campus, but still it scarred me."

This comes after LSU hired law firm Husch Blackwell to review the way complaints under federal Title IX laws were handled after USA Today scrutinized the university’s handling of sexual assault allegations involving Guice and another football player.
