Rape allegations
In 1989, Lloyd Irvin was accused of participating in a gang rape of a 17-year-old Hampton University student. Although several of his cohorts were convicted of the charge of rape, Irvin himself was acquitted. At trial he convinced the jury that he was unable to participate in the act due to sexual impotence.
Former students of Irvin, including one Mike Fowler, have also publicly condemned him.
The 1990 trial has resurfaced to attention after several of Irvin's students were themselves involved in a sexual assault scandal. Irvin has beena accused of trying to burnish his image by buying up domain names that included his name and the word "rape", such as www.lloydirvinrape.com.
