PACE UNIVERSITY Sued By Male. Claims School Did Not Stop His Ex From Making Bogus Rape Accusations
A Pace University freshman was wrongly arrested in front of his classmates — largely because college admins didn’t do anything to stop his ex-girlfriend from making false rape claims against him, a new lawsuit alleges.
Ari Grossman and his ex got into the school’s acting program in 2016. Shortly afterward, Grossman’s ex, whom he had dated for several months when they were 15 – had her parents call him “threatening” to press rape charges if he attended. He decided to attend Pace despite the alleged threats — which she wound up honoring. A prosecutor in their native Southern California declined to pursue the woman’s criminal case. She then went for a temporary restraining order. The exes wound up settling and “mutually agreed to have no contact with each other” or talk about the case.
By the time they arrived at Pace in fall 2016, things changed. The female got college admins to issue a university “no contact order” against him — all the while telling classmates in their tight-knit acting program that Grossman, now 19, was a rapist. She continued to lie and made numerous bogus reports that he violated Pace’s restraining order against him.
