Student tells school he’s being falsely accused, school investigates him
An Augustana University student is suing his school after being expelled. The student initially told the school that a fellow student had been falsely telling people he had raped her. He “asked the school to intervene.” Instead, the school went to the accuse and suggested she go to the police. The accuser did so and the accused student was arrested and charged with sexual assault. Just 24 hours after the accused presented evidence that showed he couldn’t possibly have committed the rape as described, the charges were dismissed. Most notably, the accused had lost his feet in a car accident and couldn’t physically have committed the rape. He also mentioned that this particular accuser had previously falsely accused other Augustana students of rape, including an ex-boyfriend. The day after the accused student was arrested, the accuser filed a complaint with the school. Augustana immediately suspended the accused student.
