A student who faces a rape charge at Pomona College, in Claremont, Calif., has sued the school over several aspects of the case, including a rule against bringing a lawyer to a judicial hearing. A judge ruled last week that his lawyer must be admitted to the hearing. The student, who graduated two weeks ago, is at risk of having his degree rescinded.
The accuser waited two and a half years before filing a complaint with the school's disciplinary board. She says she went willingly to the man's room and did not object to his sexual advances or resist them, and that no force was used. What occurred was a rape, she contends, because she did not explicitly consent to sex.
That is pretty fucking ridiculous for a lot of reasons.
