Ex-Texas Tech SG Pop Isaacs Has Lawsuit Dismissed After Sexual Assault Allegations

The civil lawsuit alleging former Texas Tech basketball player Richard "Pop" Isaacs sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl in November was dismissed, per a Wednesday report from ESPN's Myron Medcalf.

"The parties to the lawsuit and Title IX complaint have agreed to dismiss all claims that have, or could have been, alleged as against one another," an attorney for Isaacs said in a statement. "Pop loved his time in Lubbock and being part of the Red Raider family. He thanks Coach [Grant] McCasland, the entire staff, and everyone involved with the university for supporting him throughout his time at Texas Tech."

The parents of the girl filed the lawsuit in January and alleged Isaacs sexually assaulted her during a team trip to the Bahamas. Texas Tech was in the Bahamas to participate in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament.

While the age of consent in the Bahamas is 16, the lawsuit alleged that the girl could not grant consent because she was intoxicated.

In January, Medcalf reported the lawsuit was seeking $1 million in damages. He also noted it alleged she "attempted to fight him off" but was intoxicated from alcohol that was provided by a Texas Tech booster.

Isaacs denied the allegations through an attorney and said he didn't have any sexual contact with her.

According to Medcalf, Texas Tech said it reported the allegations to the Title IX office and was told on multiple occasions when it reached out for an update that he remained "in good standing" with the school.

As a result, Isaacs played the entire season 2023-24 and was never suspended. There were also no criminal complaints filed.

He has since entered the transfer portal and is no longer with the Red Raiders.
