Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines has detailed her “traumatic” experience of being physically assaulted and held against her will at San Francisco State University (SFSU) last month after giving a speech on the “injustices” surrounding women’s participation in sports.
Gaines told members of Congress during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on May 16 that she feared for her life as protesters at the university had demanded a ransom for her release.
