Student accused in sex assault sues SDSU (San Diego State University)

A student on suspension from San Diego State University has sued the school over the way it is handling an investigation against him for sexual misconduct.

Attorney Domenic Lombardo, who is representing student Francisco Sousa, said his clients has been denied due process and is not even sure about the specifics of the accusations against him.

Sousa, an international transfer student from Portugal, was arrested Dec. 9 and charged with false imprisonment and forcible oral copulation of a female SDSU student. The charges were later dropped, but he remains suspended and has since enrolled in another school.

Lombardo filed a writ of mandate in San Diego County Superior Court on April 2 to get access to specific accusations he said led to Sousa’s suspension. The evidence could be used later in a hearing to determine whether Sousa should be expelled from the school for violations of Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sexual discrimination on college campuses.

I’m pretty sure an individual cannot violate Title IX.

1. A Student CANNOT violate title IX, only the School itself can do that.

2. We need to start locking these girls up that make FALSE Accusations, and I mean for a LONG LONG TIME, 5 years MINIMUM.

The same university that made a Jim Jones apologist a professor.

One day a week? Last time I heard, only online schools actually worked that way!

Rape is a crime. It should be dealt with by the criminal justice system, not by a university. A university has no more business dealing with an accusation of rape than the local prosecutor has dealing with an accusation of plagiarism at a university.
