Former Notre Dame Basketball Coach Ryan Ayers Charged with Voyeurism, Battery

Here’s a pretty creepy story. Ryan Ayers, a former Notre Dame men’s basketball assistant coach, was charged with three counts of voyeurism and one count of domestic battery this week. The charges stem from Ayers’ relationships with two women, where he allegedly recorded them without their consent, naked or while having sex. He’s also accused of hitting one of the women in the face during an altercation in his car.

Via WNDU:

Former Notre Dame men’s basketball player and assistant coach Ryan Ayers has been charged with three counts of voyeurism and one count of domestic battery.

The events occurred anywhere from January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2021.

Charging documents say Ayers took sexual photographs and videos of two ex-girlfriends without their knowledge. One ex-girlfriend had her photos shared in Ayers’ group chat. He also struck her in the face, causing her nose to bleed once she found out about said group chat. The other victim was unwillingly videoed. She asked Ayers to delete the video but he never did.

Ayers has been ordered to have no contact with either victim. He will post a bond no less than $7,500. Once out on bond, Ayers will have a GPS device on his person until further Order of the Court.

Ayers left the program at the end of September. Notre Dame sent out a news release which read that the assistant coach was no longer a member of the Notre Dame men’s basketball program, but they didn’t give any reasons why.
