Netflix series “Cheer” — claims in a new lawsuit that the Texas college and coach Monica Aldama failed to investigate her sexual assault accusations.In the filing obtained by The Post, former Navarro cheerleader Madi Lane alleges she was sexually assaulted by team member Salvatore “Salvo” Amico in her dorm room in September 2021.The complaint, filed Wednesday in federal court, also names Director of Athletics Michael Landers and Title IX Coordinator Elizabeth Pillans.
Representatives for Navarro College and Aldama denied allegations of wrongdoing in a statement Thursday. The Post also reached out to Amico for comment.In her suit, Lane claims Amico got on her bed, pulled off some of her clothes and sexually assaulted her as she screamed at him to stop.She said she spoke with “several team members” and claimed the team’s “unofficial captain” told her, “You just need to drink it off and get your mind off of it” because “that’s what Navarro girls do — they drink.
