DSU student who was cleared of rape charges sues school [View all]

A Delaware State University student who was kicked off campus for 45 days before being cleared of rape charges is suing the school for damages, saying his civil rights were violated.

In a federal lawsuit, Andre L. Henry, 21, said the school did not provide him due process while it reviewed criminal charges that already had been dropped.

“We found out yesterday that his on-campus disciplinary charges were found to be ‘not responsible,’ ” his attorney, Daniel C. Herr, said Tuesday, referring to DSU’s General Judicial Council’s investigation.

“We are still moving forward for damages because he was suspended for a total of 45 days pending a full investigation and full hearing, which we allege is a violation to his right to due process,” Herr said. “For 45 days he was kicked out of his home, ... he was kicked off campus, he was kicked out of school, all based on an allegation.

“You can’t do that for 45 days and then finally say ‘Oh, we’ve come to our decision. He was found not guilty.’ ”

=====================

This is a perfect example of false rape allegation. Yes, they do happen (not common yet they do happen) but it's just that they are not publicized that much in the media. I hope that man sues university for all the humiliation he felt for 1.5 months and even sues that girl who did the false rape allegation.
