UNC-Chapel Hill suspends Honor Court proceeding against student who spoke out about sexual assault

[unc70]

5. Honor Court handling harassment, not assault

This whole thing is a mess, a couple of them, but nearly all the news stories are terribly misleading.

The UNC police are a fully qualified and trained force with equal status with the Chapel Hill force. They are not rent-a-cops.

The alleged sexual assault by her boyfriend was investigated long after it supposedly happened. No evidence, her word only, they had continued dating afterward, only came out when they broke up. Hard to prove a crime.

She took her complaint to the campus special committee that handles these and other threats to the campus community (not the Honor Court). That committee found him not guilty and he was allowed back on campus the next semester.

Since then she has been loudly proclaiming him as a rapist. While she has not stated his name at rallies, news events, and such, most everyone on campus knows who he is. He is receiving death threats, etc. now. That is why he filed a complaint with the Honor Court. This is the first involvement of the HC in this matter.

The people who know the details of this case are restricted by law from disclosing the details.

Not quite the Duke lacrosse case, but not the outrage as portrayed in the news.
