(José Niño, Headline USA) A Rutgers University student who once defended Turning Point USA in conservative media now accuses fellow members of the movement of assaulting her at a national summit. TPUSA flatly rejects her account.
Megyn Doyle, 18, describes herself as the former vice president of the Rutgers TPUSA chapter. In a video statement, she says that on July 9 at roughly 11 p.m., during the group’s Chapter Leadership Summit at the Gaylord hotel in Maryland, she went to a fellow chapter leader’s room.

She had left her period products with him because her luggage was full. She alleges he refused to return them, and an altercation broke out. According to Doyle, another chapter member then “got on top of me and assaulted, violated me while men stood by and watched and recorded me.”
Her exact title remains unclear. Fox News identified her as the chapter’s treasurer in October 2025, when she led a petition against history professor Mark Bray, and IBTimes UK flags the discrepancy.
The allegations surfaced well before this week’s viral moment. Doyle first posted about the summit on October 23, according to IBTimes UK, and filed a report with Rutgers University police on October 26. Three days later, the student assembly condemned a “deeply offensive and reprehensible” social media story tied to the alleged assault, Rutgers Radio reported.
The story exploded on Tuesday, when the Unf*ck America Tour, a campaign IBTimes UK ties to the National Ground Game PAC, which is aligned with Democrats, shared Doyle’s video along with footage it says shows her held down without consent. The thread claims a male voice says “She is for the whole team.” Accounts such as @gop__ls followed with “BREAKING” posts.
TPUSA answered through a legal representative speaking to TMZ. The organization says it “takes assault allegations incredibly seriously” and that after learning of the matter in October, it “immediately launched an internal investigation,” though Doyle “declined to participate on four different occasions.”
TPUSA added that those interviewed were “adamant that no sexual assault occurred” and that the room “was not part of the Turning Point USA room block.” It further said the police report “doesn’t include any allegations of sexual assault” and instead references video “that appears to depict consensual face-slapping with [the accuser] slapping an unidentified male and pillow fighting.” TPUSA adds that “at no point were any TPUSA staff involved.” IBTimes UK notes that the statement leaves the “whole team” remark unaddressed.
Rutgers has offered no public comment, and police have announced no charges. The alleged incident took place in Maryland, outside the jurisdiction of Rutgers police. None of the accused men has spoken on the record, although the viral thread claims one of them sent Doyle a cease and desist letter. That claim remains unverified.
Doyle says she is “working with the Rutgers Police Department as well as Rutgers University” to weigh her options. “My main priority now is to see what can I do and ultimately to move forward and hopefully get accountability from this incident,” she said.
Headline USA reached out to TPUSA for comment and has not received a response thus far.
