GOOD NEWS. College Student @Salve Regina University Cleared of Rape Charge, Allowed to Graduate
A college student at Salve Regina University was allowed to graduate after school investigators found him “not responsible” for the rape accusation made against him by a female student. The two internal school investigators at the small, Catholic school in Newport, Rhode Island, found “John Doe” “not responsible” for the alleged rape. The decision came down five days before Salve Regina University’s 69th annual commencement. “Up until that point, he didn’t know if he was graduating,” said Doe’s attorney, John R. Grasso,
Doe, who hails from New Jersey, is one of a growing number of male college students in the United States who have been accused of sexual assault and claim their schools conducted investigations into the charges against them without due process. John Doe claims Salve’s internal investigators lacked proper training, even as they acted as prosecutor, judge and jury, leaving him without the opportunity to cross-examine the complainant and a key witness. Doe’s attorney Grasso said he represented a dozen clients involved in Title IX sexual assault investigations at Rhode Island schools during the past year, double the number he had the previous year.
Under a 2011 Obama-era policy, students accused of sexual misconduct were often denied the ability to cross-examine their accuser and to have access to the alleged evidence against them. The Obama administration also used a false statistic — “one in five” women experience sexual assault in college — that was repeated in the mainstream media to promote the narrative that women in college were frequently victims of sexual assault.According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, however, a division of the Department of Justice, the actual rate of sexual assault on college campuses is 6.1 per 1,000 students, or .03 in five. The rate of rape and sexual assault for non-students is actually 1.2 times higher than for students — 7.6 per 1,000.
