Although I have a special place in my heart for Duke and I abhor the idea of this escort getting any money for this charade I have a sick desire to see Duke itself have to pay. Maybe they wouldn't be so fast to jump to the dark side so fast next time.
They might be able to sue the University if the University owned the house.
That could very well be true.I think that's why you see warnings today on nail guns that say "do not shoot nails into your head".But if she can sue Duke,it would be in addition to whatever she could get from the kids and/or their parents.
I read that the Duke PD informed Dean of Student Affairs Sue Wasiolek about the rape accusationon the morning of the 14th. She told the athletic director who told Coach Pressler. But if she or someone else in the Duke Admin. didn't personally inform the players' parents that their sons might be in legal jeopardy, perhaps the parents could sue for that failure.
The Duke PD passed on erroneous information - that the charges were likely to be misdemeanors which would go away. I can't believe that if the parents were told there was a rape charge they wouldn't have immediately gotten representation for their sons. Instead, the boys were alone when the search warrant was served two days later.
