Buffalo Bills first-round draft pick Maxwell Hairston is facing a federal lawsuit which accuses him of sexually assaulting a woman in 2021 while he was a student at the University of Kentucky.
The lawsuit has been filed in the Kentucky federal court and alleges that Hairston entered the woman’s dorm room without permission, ignored her refusal to engage in sexual activity, forcibly removed her clothing, and assaulted her.
The Buffalo Bills have refused to comment on the Maxwell Hairston accusations
The Buffalo Bills declined to comment, instead pointing to remarks made by general manager Brandon Beane during April's NFL Draft. Beane stated that the team had “fully investigated” the 2021 allegation and described Hairston as “an impeccable kid.” He added, “It’s unfortunate when such allegations are connected to someone, especially when there doesn’t appear to be anything substantiated.”
The plaintiff also underwent a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) evaluation at a hospital following her interaction with law enforcement. The lawsuit does not reveal the findings of either the police report or the SANE examination. The plaintiff’s legal team declined to share any documents related to law enforcement or the university, citing confidentiality obligations
Hairston is from West Bloomfield, Michigan and played three seasons at Kentucky (2022–2024) before being picked 30th overall by the Bills in April. The 21-year-old cornerback is currently being considered for a starting role on the team.
The Bills wrapped up their mandatory minicamp in mid-June and will reconvene for training camp later this month.
