CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT @ST. JOHN’s University. Good News For Male Student.
Legal action has been withdrawn by a onetime St. John’s University male student who alleged gender bias when he sued his school and an affiliated college, claiming they falsely found that he probably sexually assaulted a female student and then suspended him. The falsely accused male contended that the investigation was biased against him because he was prevented from fairly challenging her contentions of what happened that night and that she retreated from her initial allegations. The suit was dismissed under a mutual agreement on both sides, according to court filings that did not address how this conclusion came about. The male’s attorney Andrea Jepsen, said that “the parties came to a mutually satisfactory agreement.” Jepsen declined to field questions about how the dismissal came about or whether her client remains suspended.
