Florida coach Todd Golden has been accused of sexual harassment and stalking in a Title IX complaint filed with the university on Sept. 27, according to a Friday afternoon report by Jack Meyer and Max Tucker of The alligator.

Golden, 39, is accused of “sexual exploitation, sexual harassment and stalking” of students at the university.

Per Meyer and Tucker, the complaint alleges that Golden would covertly take pictures of women and then send them to the women.

“On more than one occasion, Golden allegedly engaged women on Instagram by liking photos and then waiting until they read the DM before disliking the photos to avoid suspicion,” Meyer and Tucker wrote.

Two women interviewed by The alligator who requested to remain anonymous suggested the alleged harassment was part of a pattern in the Gators’ men’s basketball program.

Golden is in his third year coaching at Florida. He is 42-29 at the school, having taken the Gators to the NCAA men’s tournament in 2024; he previously trained in San Francisco, which he brought to the 2022 tournament.
