re: Johnathan Taylor dismissed!!

These lawsuits are happening from FSU to Oregon. Women that have been raped are suing the universities for bringing these students into the community.

Look up the lawsuit in Oregon. The former player from Providence had been accused of rape at that college. Charges were dropped. He then was involved in raping her at an apartment. She is suing the school saying they knew he was a danger to the community.

A woman who alleges she was gang-raped by three University of Oregon men's basketball players in March has filed a Title IX lawsuit against the university and head men's basketball coach Dana Altman.

The civil suit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Eugene, Oregon.

According to the suit, the woman, a university student, alleges that three Oregon men's basketball players cornered her in a bathroom in March and gang-raped her multiple times. Prosecutors did not file charges against the men, citing insufficient evidence.

The lawsuit says that Altman knew one of his players, Brandon Austin, had a history of prior sexual misconduct allegations at another school but that Altman recruited him to play for the Ducks anyway. Austin and two of his Ducks' teammates were dismissed from the team in May. The teammates are not mentioned by name in the lawsuit.

"This is a very important case that needs to be litigated," said John Clune, an attorney for the woman. "It is time for athletic departments to stop trading the safety of women on campus for points on a scoreboard. The University of Oregon community deserves better, and we hope this case will help in that effort."
