Prior to enrolling in American, John had never even held hands with a woman before, as Kuwait has \u201cstrict laws, customs, and traditions regarding physical intimacy before marriage,\u201d the student said in his lawsuit against the school alleging sex discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>On the night of April 22, 2016, however, that all changed for John. His friend, referred to in court documents reviewed by The Daily Wire as H.S., and H.S.\u2019s female friend, referred to only as Jane Roe, went to John\u2019s apartment to hang out. While there, Jane ate part of a marijuana-laced brownie she had received from H.S. Neither H.S. nor John ate the brownie, instead drinking alcohol. At the time, John didn\u2019t know Jane very well, but when H.S. left the room to vomit in the bathroom, Jane kissed John, according to John\u2019s lawsuit. Since John was inexperienced, Jane \u201ctook the lead,\u201d putting her hands on his head and guiding him toward her breasts. John touched Jane\u2019s breasts over her clothes without her objection, and she then guided his head to her lower body. He asked her, \u201cis this what you want me to do?\u201d and she responded \u201cyes.\u201d Again, John was inexperienced, so he merely fumbled around for a few seconds including at one point putting his mouth on her clothes \u2013 he never performed oral sex. Since it was John\u2019s first time with any sexual activity, he kept asking her if what he was doing was alright, and, he says in his lawsuit, she consented.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after their brief encounter ended, Jane order an Uber to take her and H.S. back to their own dorm. Before leaving, she hugged John and thanked him for being so \u201ccaring\u201d by asking her for permission, unlike \u201csomeone else\u201d in her past. Jane also texted John when she returned home, saying H.S. vomited on the ride home but that he was \u201cOK.\u201d The next night, Jane texted John to ask if he was \u201cokay with everything.\u201d John responded saying he was, to which Jane replied: \u201cYeah I\u2019m tired but okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than two-and-a-half years later, just months before John was set to graduate, Jane suddenly filed a formal complaint with American\u2019s Title IX Office alleging John had sexually assaulted her in 2016. She claimed John was somehow responsible for her eating the pot brownie and that she was incapacitated and unable to give consent during their brief and limited sexual activity. She also claimed that it was John who initiated sexual contact, accusing him of penetrating her with his finger.<\/p>\n<p>A month after Jane made her allegation, John learned she also made multiple allegations against H.S., though he did not at that time learn what those accusations entailed. He later learned from H.S. that Jane claimed he had somehow made her eat the brownie and that when she was incapacitated from that brownie, H.S. grabbed her hair, one of her beasts, and \u201cviolently\u201d kissed her. Jane also made a second complaint against H.S., alleging he and another friend, C.S., physically assaulted her and exposed their genitals to her in February 2016. She also claimed in that report that H.S. grabbed her breast.<\/p>\n<p>In each instance, H.S. was found not responsible for Jane\u2019s allegations. John, however, was found responsible for touching Jane without her consent, claiming he misread Jane\u2019s clear statement of \u201cyes\u201d after John asked, \u201cis this what you want me to do?\u201d and her actions of physically moving John\u2019s head over her breasts and between her legs.<\/p>\n<p>The interactions lasted mere seconds, and Jane herself told school investigators that John stopped what he was doing when she asked.<\/p>\n<p>John was found not responsible for making Jane incapacitated or digitally penetrating her. He was still suspended for a year-and-a-half, meaning he could not graduate on time even though he was just months away from receiving his diploma.<\/p>\n<p>John, as hundreds of other students have done, sued American University, alleging the school violated his rights by conducting an investigation that ignored witness statements and text messages contradicting and undermining Jane\u2019s claims and her own inconsistent statements, as well as her alleged withholding of evidence that undermined her claims. John also alleges the school investigator \u201cselectively\u201d quoted a witness, \u201cleaving out key language that undermined\u201d Jane\u2019s claims, and ignored the text-message exchange between John and Jane, claiming Jane was merely responding to John, even though she initiated the messages.<\/p>\n<p>This investigator, who is named in the lawsuit, also allegedly gathered evidence against John while investigating Jane\u2019s claims against H.S., without sharing the information with John.<\/p>\n<p>And while John didn\u2019t receive information or updates from the investigator, Jane did. She also had access to all the information that had been withheld from John. John also argued in his lawsuit that finding Jane not credible in her allegations against H.S. should have helped John\u2019s case, yet she was found credible in his case despite her apparent false allegations against H.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s either trustworthy or not. H.S. cannot be credible in his own case but not credible as the key witness \u2014 who contradicted Ms. Roe\u2019s claims \u2014 in Mr. Doe\u2019s case. And Mr. Doe cannot be credible as a key witness in H.S.\u2019s case but not credible in his own,\u201d John said in his lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>John also alleged that he was not allowed to challenge members of the Sanctioning Panel that determined his suspension, even though university policies said he was \u201centitled\u201d to do so. John also wasn\u2019t allowed to have an advisor present, even though university policies allowed it.<\/p>\n<p>John appealed the finding but was denied without explanation, granting the excessive suspension despite the actual findings against him.<\/p>\n<p>After more than a year in the legal system, John and the university filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on February 22, 2012, an indication that a summary had been reached in the case. John\u2019s attorney, Matthew Kaiser, did not respond to a Daily Wire press inquiry prior to publication.<\/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.
