Heard about this story on talk radio on the way home from work. They were saying that the guy should sue his former employers and the school. He was fired from his job and kicked out of school without any evidence of wrong doing. They acted simply on the accusation of the woman rather than waiting for evidence or due process.

Anyway, the people talking about the story on the radio were Leeann Tweeden and Lauren Sivan (prominent members of the me too movement -- Lauren accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault and Leeann Tweeden had that picture of former Senator Al Franken that was in bad taste which forced him to resign), and both agreed that baseless accusations like this from women who are simply out to get someone (without proof) are harmful to the movement. Considering the medical exam and rape kit that were done within a day of the alleged incident, there should have been at least something, some little piece of evidence to prove what she claimed. But there was nothing.

The host of the radio show (Dr. Drew Pinsky -- yes, a real doctor who practices at Huntington Memorial Hospital where my son was born) said that with the claims of violence against her, within 25 hours there should be at least some shred of evidence that the medical examiners could find if her claims were true. The fact that they found nothing is pretty clear that it didn't happen. Anyway, they were all saying on the radio that he should sue the school and his former employer for acting without giving him a chance to prove himself.
