UW asst. athletic director Chadima resigned over allegation of unwanted sexual touching

John Chadima made unwanted sexual advances to a University of Wisconsin Athletic Department student employee and threatened to fire him after he spurned the early-morning overture at a Rose Bowl party….

As the other students were leaving, Chadima called one student employee back and asked him to stay for a drink. The student, who was over 21, reported making three rum drinks each for Chadima and himself.

At one point, Chadima told the student he thought the student might be gay.

Chadima removed the student’s belt, reached inside the student’s pants and touched his genitals.

The student said he was shocked and frightened, slapped Chadima’s hand away and swore at him.

That’s when Chadima threatened the student, reportedly saying, “What are you going to do about it?” and “I could have you fired.”  As the student left the room, Chadima seemed to gloss over the incident as “just joking around.”
