PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: Jack Montague Sues Yale Over Sex Assault Expulsion:

The night of the alleged sexual assault, the accuser “willingly accompanied Montague to his bedroom, removed her clothing as he removed his, got into his bed, and engaged in consensual sexual conduct,” according to the lawsuit. The accuser then claimed the “intercourse that followed the consensual sexual foreplay was nonconsensual.”

Even Yale’s own report on the investigation appeared to suggest Montague was right to believe he had consent. For instance, the accuser said she told Montague the she wanted to “hook up but not have sex” but admitted to the panel she didn’t believe he heard her. Based on the accuser’s other actions — which were all similar to what she had done in previous consensual sexual encounters — would give the impression Montague reasonably believed he had consent.

Yet Yale still expelled him, after apparently encouraging the accuser to tell her story. See, it wasn’t the accuser who came forward in this case, it was her friend, who told Yale’s Title IX coordinator in an unrelated conversation that the eventual accuser had a “bad experience.” The Title IX coordinator and the friend then worked to get the accuser to come forward.

After the accuser talked to the Title IX coordinator, she began reinterpreting her encounter with Montague. She started thinking he was dangerous and that she needed to save the rest of the students at Yale from him.

From the beginning, Yale appears to have misled the accuser into believing Montague had a history of sexual misconduct.

Bright college years, rife with official dishonesty and oppression.
