Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, 23, was barricaded and swamped in a room at San Francisco State University on Thursday night after she was physically assaulted following a speech to students about saving women’s sports at a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute on campus. Gaines’ husband, Louis Barker, said he had brief conversations with his wife while she was locked in the room for nearly three hours. ‘She told me she was hit multiple times by a guy in a dress. I was shaking. It made me that mad. It makes me sick to feel so helpless about it,’ Barker said. ‘She was under police protection and was still hit by a man wearing a dress.’
