Judge Norman K. Moon denied W&L's motion to dismiss the lawsuit, allowing John Doe — as he is referred to in the claim — to continue to seek damages resulting from his expulsion from the university. John believes he was wrongly accused of sexual misconduct, and Moon appears to agree.
On Feb. 8, 2014, John and his eventual accuser, Jane Doe, met at an off-campus party. The two danced, talked and kissed.
The two eventually went back to John's residence and talked for awhile. Jane then walked over to John and allegedly told him, "I usually don't have sex with someone I meet on the first night, but you are a really interesting guy." Jane then began kissing John and the two had sex.

During the summer of 2014, Jane worked at a women's clinic that handled sexual assault issues. After speaking to people there about her encounter with John, she began reclassifying the encounter as sexual assault.

regret equals rape? so anything i feel regret about later i can take action against people? this is the ultimate in lack of responsibility. it’s encouraged! this is insane.
Guys need to start videoing their hookups to prevent false rape claims
There is a reason no westernized country has a replacement birthrate.
*hint*...it’s not the guys.
btt
Any young man in college who even acknowledges young women in college are fools setting themselves up for this nonsense. Meet women at clubs or bars if you’re going to hookup. NEVER with a college mate. Don’t talk to college women, don’t open doors for them, don’t work with them, and certainly don’t date them. It’s just not worth it. It’s too bad the 99% give the other 1% a bad name. My college days were limited to engineering courses and I dodged those bullets.
This is perhaps a novel idea, but it occurs to me that a great deal of complication in life is avoided if single men and women can somehow manage to keep their pants zipped when they’re together.
As Glenn Reynolds says (Yale-educated lawyer, atheist, pro-choice, blogs on the libertarian blog Instapundit):
You would think the feminist movement was designed by horny teenaged boys.
Attendance at a private school means you forfeit your due process rights?
Chilling. This isn’t merely about campus rape. The implications are much broader.
Precedents are being set throughout this country—in the pedo priest scandal, the Cosby case, Paula Deen—that ANYONE can point a finger at you and claim you attacked or harmed or merely offended them, weeks or months or decades ago, and you can be ruined.
You can now be accused, tried, and convicted simply because your accuser identifies as a member of a designated victim group—female, minority, gay—and you are in the designated oppressor group—white, male, straight, Christian. And those designations can expand or shift with the wind.
No jury of your peers is allowed, and no evidence you actually did anything is required. The burden is now on you to prove that you didn’t, and any evidence or witness to your innocence is simply disregarded or blocked.

What a grossly insensitive and sexist statement. Me, I was a CS major the ratio was not good at all - even less if you were looking for English as a first language. ;-)
