JUDGE Blasts Penn State for Never Asking TIX Rape Accuser for Evidence: Lawsuit Continues
Pennsylvania State University knows that it’s supposed to “believe the survivor,” but a federal judge just told the public university it has to verify her claimed evidence… John Doe alleged that Penn State refused to require his accuser to provide a written statement with specific allegations throughout the nine-month investigation, preventing him from giving an informed defense. Because the outcome of the proceeding depended on “credibility-based determinations,” the university was wrong to block “almost all” of Doe’s 22 questions for Roe. Judge Brann had particular scorn for Katharina Matic the Title IX investigator.
