YALE: I SAT THROUGH Entire Sex Assault Trial. Media Isn’t Reporting the Full Story.
In October 2015, Yale suspended Mr. Khan with no investigation based on a sexual-assault allegation. Last week a New Haven Superior Court jury acquitted Khan of all charges, taking less than four hours to agree unanimously that his accuser was not credible and there was insufficient evidence to support her accusations. Much of the reporting on the Khan trial has consistently omitted details pivotal to the jury’s findings. Such as this evidence: 1. the accuser’s anal swab revealed another male’s DNA. Everyone, even the jury and prosecutor, seemed stunned by this revelation. 2.The accuser sat on Khan’s lap, kissing him and asked what he’d like her to do sexually. 3. The jury concluded the videos of the couple’s walk did not show, as the prosecutor continually insisted, Khan supporting the accuser. Jurors said they watched the video several times and did not see the accuser stumbling, but saw her walking with Khan, smiling, her “body language and expression on her face was nothing but willing” It unsettled me that a prosecutor would attempt to convince a jury to see something that was just not there. The truth is the truth, and I refuse to be intimidated into silence by mob mentality.
