Who is Dillon Gabriel?
Dillon Gabriel is a former college basketball player who played for the University of Michigan Wolverines. He transferred to Florida in April 2021 after being accused of sexual assault by another student. Although he was never charged with any crime, he was suspended from playing for Michigan while an investigation took place.
What happened at Michigan?
In March 2021, a woman accused Dillon Gabriel of sexually assaulting her while she slept at his apartment on February 25th during a party celebrating their win over Purdue on February 23rd. The accuser claims that she was too intoxicated to consent, which is why she filed charges against him with the Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD). She claimed that her memory stopped when they went back to his apartment and that she woke up later with bruises on her body that she couldn’t explain.
On March 3rd, it was announced that he would be suspended indefinitely while an investigation took place into what happened between them on February 25th.
The AAPD said in a statement: “The Ann Arbor Police Department has been investigating an allegation involving a sexual assault that occurred earlier this month between two individuals who knew each other,” adding: “Investigators have interviewed both parties involved and witnesses who were present at the time.”
