Inside the petition is a scandal vulnerability assessment which contains a web of new allegations.
It claims Mrs. Roberts spent the night in the university's guest house with an underage male on 9 separate occasions.
It states there are 29 photos of Mrs. Roberts and the underage male alone in her sports car after city-wide curfew
The university's Board of Regents was added as a defendant in the lawsuit.
It claims Roberts and the board gave a convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to the students of the university as a "mentor."
It also says three days after the original lawsuit was filed, ORU and Roberts terminated ORU's financial comptroller.
Then it states witnesses have reported that voluminous materials and documents were shredded and destroyed.
It also quotes a taped phone call where Roberts was heard saying, "I have the deck stacked -- I am elected to three year terms and if a regent appears to give me trouble, I remove him. I stack the deck."
Channel 2 tried to contact Richard Roberts for a response to the new allegations.
The reporter could not reach him.
