The FBI and the U.S. Army investigated complaints from four women that Hall of Fame basketball coach Bob Knight groped them or touched them inappropriately during a visit to a U.S. spy agency in 2015, an investigation that concluded a year later without charges, the Washington Post reported Friday. The woman also filed a discrimination complaint against the NGA and the Defense Department in which she claimed she was pressured to drop the matter, the Post reported. An attorney representing Knight, James Voyles, acknowledged to the Post that FBI agents interviewed Knight at his home in Montana last year and said the investigation was dropped shortly thereafter. A fourth woman told the Post that Knight smacked her on the buttocks after his speech. Army investigators initially handled the probe but later handed it over to the FBI because Knight was a civilian, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed law enforcement officials.
