U.S. Court Dismisses David Daniels’ Lawsuit Against University of Michigan

By Francisco Salazar

David Daniels’ lawsuit against the University of Michigan has been dismissed.

The Associated Press is reporting that U.S. District Judge Sean Cox dismissed the countertenor’s lawsuit because he waited too long to sue the university.

Back in January, Daniel sued the university over his firing for what the school deemed sexual misconduct. After an investigation, the school found that he had solicited at least three students and shared a sexually explicit video with one.

Daniels was seeking an unspecified financial award.

The countertenor’s last years have been a rollercoaster ride after having been accused of Sexual assault.  In 2020 Daniels was fired from the University of Michigan. Additionally, he was charged in Houston in 2019 for sexually assaulting an opera singer. As a result, he was fired from the San Francisco Opera and other contracts. Daniels and his husband Scott Walters eventually pleaded guilty in 2023 to sexual assault and were placed on probation. Daniels was also dropped from AGMA.

The countertenor later revealed that he had gotten offers to restart his career in Europe. However, he has not performed publicly since then.
