A Yale student has asked a Superior Court judge to lift a suspension imposed by the university on Sunday after the Yale Daily News reported sexual assault allegations against him. Saifullah Khan filed papers Wednesday asking the New Haven Superior Court to permit him to return to classes and to order the university to provide him with an escort or bodyguard to protect him from other students and faculty members. On Wednesday, a Superior Court judge said a decision could not be made without hearing from Yale and set a date later in the month for that to occur, according to Norm Pattis, Khan’s New Haven attorney. “Mr Kahn is trying to complete his Yale education,” said Pattis.“He is a young ma

Embattled University of Wisconsin receiver Quintez Cephus is suing the school because he says a disciplinary probe it is conducting while he's trying to defend himself in a criminal sexual assault case violates his rights. Cephus was suspended from the Badgers in August after he was charged with sexually assaulting two drunken women in his apartment. Cephus says the sex was consensual. Cephus filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday alleging that a university disciplinary investigation against him launched in May is unfair because he can't participate in it without potentially harming his criminal defense, the Wisconsin State Journal reported. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for emotional and p

First Lady Melania Trump said in a rare on-camera interview with ABC that women accusing men of sexual misconduct need “hard evidence.” WATCH: Tom Llamas on “Good Morning America” asked Mrs. Trump if she supports women and the #MeToo movement. “I support the women, and they need to be heard. We need to support them,” Mrs. Trumpreplied. “And, you know, also men. Not just women.” When asked if men who have been accused of misconduct have been treated unfairly, Mrs. Trump said, “We need to have really hard evidence, you know, that if you are accused of something, show the evidence.” “I do stand with women but we need to show the evidence,” she continued. “You cannot just say to somebody, ‘I was

Panelist asked how their decision could affect litigation against university Ordered by a federal judge to consider an appeal by a student it found responsible for sexual misconduct, George Washington University flouted its obligation by repeatedly mischaracterizing new evidence, according to an amended version of the student’s lawsuit. “John Doe” also alleges that the private university allowed his accuser, student Gillian Chandler, to bring forward “more false allegations” that he had stalked her on Facebook. In order to allow this, GWU invented a procedure out of thin air, he claims. U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer had previously faulted the official responsible for Title IX appeals

False accusations ruin lives and bring indescribable heartache. We hear a lot about rape and sexual assault victims, but rarely do we hear of the injustices and pain endured by those falsely accused of such crimes, the silent sufferers of cruelty and malice. The confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh have brought into focus a great divide in this country between those who choose to believe any allegation a woman makes and those who value presumption of innocence when a man is accused of rape. Many of us aren’t willing to discard due process simply because feminists demand it — we have experienced firsthand the devastation that follows in the wake of false accusations,

Several high school girls — dubbed "mean girls" — claimed a male student sexually assaulted them because they “just don’t like him.” Now the school district and district attorney are facing heat over the fact that neither punished the young women at all. Now the boy’s parents, Michael J. and Alicia Flood, are suing the parents of the five girls and the Seneca Valley School District in Pennsylvania over their son’s treatment. They say in their 26-page lawsuit their son “was forced to endure multiple court appearances, detention in a juvenile facility, detention at home, the loss of his liberty, and other damages until several of the girls reluctantly admitted that their accusations were false

The Georgetown University professor who called for the “miserable deaths” of GOP senators admitted Thursday to PJ Media that she runs a “doxxing” blog where she posts the names, phone numbers, and addresses of people who send her rude emails. The blog — “ShitMenSay” on Tumblr — was launched by Professor Christine Fair in January 2017. First, she began by posting screenshots of the “hate mail” she was sent by Facebook and email, typically only including names and people’s email addresses. But as early as May 2017, Fair changed course. Instead of simply screenshotting the person’s email or Facebook message, Fair appears to have subscribed to a service that would help her figure out where these

The assertion from forces against Brett M. Kavanaugh that false allegations of rape or attempted rape are extremely rare is rebutted by a number of studies, researchers say. Liberals on TV and social media said repeatedly during the Senate confirmation process that only 2 percent of charges are lies — meaning there likely would be truth in the majority of such charges, such as that of Christine Blasey Ford, who accused now-Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her 36 years ago. Brent E. Turvey, a criminologist, wrote a 2017 book that dispels this notion. His research, and that of two co-authors, cited statistical studies and police crime reports. One academic study showed th

By the time police got to the bottom of the accuser’s story and determined that her account of being sexually assaulted by two male students at an off-campus party was a complete fabrication, the young men had been expelled from Sacred Heart University, their athletic scholarships revoked. It could have been worse. Had the investigating officers not been experienced enough to notice the inconsistencies in her story, freshman student and football player Malik St. Hilaire could have been charged and falsely convicted of a crime he did not commit and sent to prison for life. As it was, though, even without a trial, the young men’s lives were destroyed, their educational dreams upended. St. Hila

An anti-Trump professor, Dr. Carol Christine Fair, is no longer teaching classes at Georgetown University following calls for the outspoken liberal educator to be fired. Fair stirred up controversy on Twitter when she wished miserable deaths upon Republican senators supporting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. “Look at [this] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist’s arrogated entitlement,” she wrote. “All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes.” Her account was de-verified and temporarily suspended Tuesday for violating Twitter’s rules, but until Friday, the unive

Fallout from the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and the now-debunked allegations of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford has expanded the divide not only between Republicans and Democrats, but among women -- the very group Democrats hoped to motivate for this year’s midterms. As I’ve covered the hearings and the circus surrounding them, I’ve heard a constant refrain -- conservative women are furious about the false allegations leveled against Kavanaugh. They resent the feminist call to believe the woman and thereby assume the man’s guilt simply because he is a member of the male collective. Feminists have made a mistake assuming that they speak for all women. They don’t. Many of us are mothers.

YouTube screenshot of Christine Fair, a Georgetown professor. The nation’s oldest men’s group filed a Title IX complaint Thursday against Georgetown University, calling for the termination of the professor who tweeted that white GOP senators “deserve miserable deaths.” According to the October 4 complaint, filed with the D.C. branch of the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, Georgetown Professor Christine Fair has “has openly called for violence and terrorism against men as a class… and several specific men.” Christine Fair became national news last week after she fired off a series of tweets in the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh saga. “Look at all the entitled white men justifyi

NBC host Megyn Kelly claimed on Thursday that men don’t have “due process rights” in sexual assault cases because the justice system favors women. During a discussion on The Today Show about the sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, Kelly warned women that their assault claims would not be believed unless men are given the benefit of the doubt. “If there is a presumption of guilty in all cases, how are we going to get people to listen to us?” she asked. Conservative pundit Amy Holmes agreed. “We’ve seen it on college campuses based on anecdotal evidence,” Holmes said. “That’s the racial angle. And on college campuses, disproportionately, young men of color are accused of these

The #MeToo movement is now an undeniable force in American culture—but a new poll is a reminder that not everyone thinks it’s entirely a force for good. According to a new poll of 6,251 adults released by the Pew Research Center on Wednesday, 31% of respondents say that women making false claims about being sexually harassed or assaulted is a major problem in today’s workplace. Another 45% think baseless allegations are a minor problem. Interestingly, there’s no gender divide among those who believe that false reports are a major problem: that 31% of respondents is split equally between men and women. There is, however, a partisan split: Republican or Republican-leaning responders were more

Late Wednesday afternoon, 19 months after he was arrested and charged with the rape of his girlfriend, Kevin Olsen became a free man. The former UNC Charlotte quarterback, 23, was found not guilty on three counts of second-degree rape and one count of second-degree sex offense. Each charge carried a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. When the verdicts were read aloud, Olsen turned in his chair at the defense table and stared triumphantly at his family behind him. He hugged his attorneys, George and Bree Laughrun, then sank back in his chair in tears. “He told me, ‘You never lost faith in me,’” Laughrun said later. Behind him, Olsen’s parents, Chris and Sue, and other family and friends

The Georgetown University professor who previously tweeted profanity-laced comments about Republicans now says white GOP senators in Thursday's Kavanaugh hearing "deserve miserable deaths." The professor recently tweeted of GOP senators, "we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine." One current Georgetown student said others who see the professor's tweet might feel "threatened" if they hold different opinions. Georgetown University Distinguished Associate Professor Christine Fair tweeted that white Republican senators in the Brett Kavanaugh hearing deserve to die. “Look at thus [sic] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist's arrogated entitlement,” Fair tweeted on Thurs

According to a recent Reason headline, proposed changes to the Department of Education’s (DOE) Title IX require “due process protections...for individuals accused” of sexual misconduct on campus. A CNN article on Kavanaugh-accuser Christine Blasey Ford states, “#MeToo is not revenge: It is a timely search for due process” for accusers. “Due process” is a battle cry throughout the news and across campuses. Conservatives demand due process for those accused; the left insists upon it for accusers. The term is not a weaponized talking point, however; it is a principle of justice. What is due process? Why it is essential to justice? In common parlance, due process is the fair treatment that ever

Like much of the country, the National Coalition for Men Carolinas (NCFMC) listened intently to last week Thursday’s testimonies of Dr. Blasey Ford and Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. We are pleased that Ford and Kavanaugh’s claims will be investigated further and are hopeful that clear and convincing evidence will be revealed as a result. Our coalition continues to stand firmly against sexual assault and believes that all allegations of sexual assault should be taken seriously. Moreover, we believe that all citizens have a constitutional right to a presumption of innocence, deserve to be treated fairly and without prejudice. We firmly stand behind accused men and women who ar
