Weatherford College hired Karen Austen as a professor and chair of its Department of Kinesiology in 2007. Not long afterward, an assistant coach formally complained that Austen made improper comments to him regarding his physique, initiated confrontations with him, and often secretly took photographs of him as he was working out. In addition, a departmental secretary filed a police report alleging Austen showed inappropriate photos to her daughter.
