'Hundreds of students at the school heard the false allegations that the Plaintiffs were rapists.'
Two former Wofford College students who have been cleared of rape charges filed a discrimination lawsuit against the school, alleging it took no action against false claims they were rapists, which amounted to sexual harassment.
Title IX protects students and faculty members from sexual harassment and designated Title IX coordinators are responsible for handling cases. However, students at multiple schools, including Virginia Tech and Princeton University, recently held protests about Title IX, arguing that it’s an ineffective system.
A female student, identified as PG in the suit, alleged that Doe and Roe “tricked her” into engaging in sexual conduct with the wrong person in March 2015. Though the allegations were later determined to be unfounded, Roe and Doe said that PG and other women falsely accused them of being “rapists,” subjecting them to sexual harassment, hazing and bullying.
Following the first alleged encounter in March 2015, in October of that year, PG claimed Roe had both consensual and non-consensual sexual conduct with her and she filed a claim with the school in May 2016.
