(WHAS11) - Karen Cunagin Sypher has issued a statement to WHAS11, her first statement since filing a complaint against Rick Pitino with LMPD's sex crimes unit.
Pitino's attorney told us Pitino has taken a lie detector test to clear his name and that Sypher had gone to police in an effort to build a defense for her federal trial on extortion charges.
Sypher gave WHAS11 this statement:
"My family and I continue to stand strong together knowing I am still the victim. I remain constant in fighting for my truth to be told and for my children to know that the justice system does not work just for the rich and powerful, but also for the common citizen."
