UC Berkeley officials released written findings today from a seven-month sexual harassment investigation of Hufnagel.
BERKELEY, Calif. » A report by the University of California, Berkeley shows an assistant basketball coach who is in the process of being fired sent a female journalist text messages filled with sexual innuendo and once tried to trick her into going to his apartment.
UC Berkeley officials released written findings today from a seven-month sexual harassment investigation of assistant men’s basketball coach Yann Hufnagel. Head Coach Cuonzo Martin moved to fire Hufnagel on Monday, when the inquiry was completed.
The Rainbow Warriors and Golden Bears meet Friday in Spokane, Wash. at the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
The reporter who complained about Hufnagel’s actions told investigators she felt trapped into tolerating his unwelcome advances because she relied on him as a news source.
The report states Hufnagel acknowledged wanting to have sex with her but that he did not think his behavior was inappropriate because she did not work for the university.

Also, I like how he thinks it’s okay to harass her since she didn’t work at Cal. Dumas…
shame on him! What a distraction and embarrassment for UC.
So easy to slip up and send a silly joking message by simply pressing a button. Kids sext all the time. Is this PC getting overdone? Why is sex so serious? How is this kind of practice condoned in European countries like Sweden and France?
Don’t be naive; it wasn’t a one off slip up that got him into trouble. It was a pattern of interoperable behavior.
good point
Hufnagel: me so horney, me love you long time.
Looks kinda like Dan Snyder, yeah? What is it with these wee men? Napoleon complex? (And I no mean “Nappy” Napoleon)
Time to invoke the “Zero Tolerance” policy and immediately fire this low life dreg of the earth. There is no place in a professional organization for such low life gutter trash.
He hit on a chick and got busted. Live,learn,and move on. He lost his job and probably will have to coach AAU or high school for the rest of his life. Dreg of the Earth? Low life gutter trash? I can think of worse people on Earth.

GOOD JOB, CAL.
This asst. coach must be an IDIOT. Just because the person or victim does not work for the University he felt it was alright or justified to send these lewd photos etc. to her etc. suggesting she has sex with him. HE REALLY IS AN IDIOT!!!
and the girl is a journalist at that.
..no matter how you look at it, it was BAD behavior period.
When your brains get dislocated something terrible is bound to happen! Especially when using the internet to convey your impurient desires, there’s no going back!
