U.S. District Judge Michael Shea ordered UConn to pay the male student, referred to in legal documents as John Doe, $60,160 in attorney\u2019s fees plus an additional $3,035 since he was the \u201cprevailing party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UConn tried to argue that John had only \u201cpartial success\u201d in the litigation and therefore should have his sought attorney\u2019s fees reduced by 75%. In the end, Shea cut the requested attorney\u2019s fees by 40%.<\/p>\n<p>John\u2019s lawsuit stems from a 2019 encounter with a woman referred to in court documents as Jane Roe. The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/she-claimed-he-sexually-assaulted-her-the-school-ignored-witnesses-that-challenged-her-credibility\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>John was drinking the night of April 5, 2019. Jane and her friends would later claim that John was so drunk he was \u201cfalling over\u201d and needed help standing, but multiple other witnesses \u2013 including one of Jane\u2019s close friends \u2013 confirmed this was not true. Jane and her friend started talking to John and later expressed interest in him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When the party ended, a group of six students piled into a car to get food. Jane sat on John\u2019s lap, but later claimed she was forced to. John said he didn\u2019t ask her or force her to sit on his lap. The student in the front passenger seat later said he felt Jane\u2019s knees against the back of the seat and he could tell she was moving around on John\u2019s lap. Another student in the back seat said he had to look away from the two because Jane was gyrating her hips on John\u2019s lap. Jane later claimed she did not do this, and the multiple witnesses disputing her story were not kept out of the campus investigator\u2019s report on the allegations. The fact that Jane had at least two instances of claiming one thing while multiple witnesses disputed her should have made UConn skeptical of her allegations, yet the school ignored them and expelled John, later reducing his punishment to a two-year suspension.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>John said he intended to go home to bed alone, but Jane called for him to get back in the car when he got out in front of his dorm. John accepted her invitation and Jane\u2019s roommate would say the next morning that two couples came back to the dorm room and quietly, mutually agreed to go to two separate bedrooms. Jane later claimed she did not invite John back to her dorm, but again, multiple witnesses said she pleaded with John to go back with her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jane would later claim she only intended to invite everyone over to watch TV and eat pizza, but this was again disputed by other witnesses.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jane\u2019s story about what happened that night would keep changing. At one point she said John didn\u2019t have a condom and it was an \u201cexcuse\u201d not to have sex, but she later said he did have a condom. John explained that Jane asking about the condom and removing her own underwear showed \u201cunambiguous\u201d consent for sexual activity, but because Jane said otherwise, the UConn investigator ignored John\u2019s claim.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Jane\u2019s story would also contradict itself. She would claim at one point that she \u201cfroze,\u201d but then said she got on top of him during the sexual encounter. She also admitted she was \u201ccooperative\u201d and \u201cpartook\u201d in the sexual act despite her alleged \u201cfreezing.\u201d She was never asked about her inconsistencies. Jane would claim she said \u201cno\u201d and \u201cstop,\u201d but John said Jane said no such things.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When the two finished, they rejoined the other couple in the apartment. John\u2019s lawsuit alleges the two women were \u201cgiggling and having a good time\u201d when the two men left. Jane later claimed she didn\u2019t say she was raped at first because she was \u201cshocked.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>John\u2019s attorneys could not be sure just why Jane regretted having sex with John so quickly. They suggest it may have been because Jane\u2019s friend had expressed interest in John shortly before he and Jane had sex. Jane\u2019s friend would later say the accuser came to her room that night to ask her for permission to have sex with John.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>UConn\u2019s attorney tried to argue that the testimony wasn\u2019t relevant because the two witnesses didn\u2019t&nbsp;<em>watch<\/em>&nbsp;Jane gyrate on John in the car \u2013 because one was in the front seat and felt her knees while the other one looked away after seeing what was happening. Judge Shea took UConn to task for this claim, saying, \u201cThat\u2019s not a serious answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
