UNIVERSITY of Texas-San Antonio Female Students Publicly Name Innocent Accused Males
If you needed further evidence that the current movement surrounding sexual assault was an anti-due process witch hunt, look no further than a student group at the University of Texas-San Antonio (UTSA). Women claiming to have been sexually assaulted held up signs with the names of the men they were accusing — seven names in total. None of the men had been convicted, yet their names were allowed to be publicly displayed. Some of the men had been investigated by the police or university and not punished, meaning there was likely insufficient evidence to find them responsible (or evidence they were innocent).
Friends of some of the accused students appeared at the event to defend them and take photos of the women for possible forthcoming lawsuits. One student, who knew three of the accused men, claimed the women were “just making false accusations.” He said the men were “being accused by girls who have already had sexual interactions with them and because they didn’t want relationships and stuff, they’re just making false accusations.”
UTSA President Taylor Eighmy sent a letter to students after the demonstration vowing “to thoroughly explore” the accusations. In another letter, Eighmy addressed concerns over publicly naming the students without charges being filed. Eighmy also claimed the accused students were “innocent until proven responsible, and they are entitled to due process.” It seems difficult to believe the men would actually get a fair shake, considering some of them had already been investigated and were now facing renewed scrutiny because of public pressure and a fear of bad publicity.
