Four years after allegedly being gang-raped at Michigan State University, a former student who had previously filed a lawsuit against the university came forward to identify herself publicly for the first time this week.
Four years after allegedly being gang-raped at Michigan State University and then purportedly being urged by a school official to reconsider taking action because she would be "swimming with some pretty big fish," a former student who had previously filed a lawsuit against the university came forward to identify herself publicly for the first time this week.
The allegations are the latest accusations of alleged mishandling of a sexual assault by MSU officials, whose actions were also at the center of the case involving Olympic gymnastics doctorKowalski's attorney Karen Truszkowski filed a Title IX federal lawsuit against the school last April, but at the time Kowalski was not identified -- and referred to only as "Plaintiff" in the lawsuit. The school has filed a motion to dismiss the case, and that motion is pending.
The statement goes on to "acknowledge it has been a challenge in the past for students, faculty, and staff to find resources" and that the university has "put more attention and resources into improved counseling services [and] created a dedicated office for Prevention, Education and Outreach within the Title IX office, and we are adding a SANE program to help those on campus who have been assaulted.
Upon returning to her dorm the next morning, she was "distraught, traumatized, and crying," according to the lawsuit, and confided in her roommate and another friend, who, days later, convinced her to seek help at the school's counseling center. In the lawsuit, she states that after telling a counselor what happened, the counselor said that a second person was needed in the room, without providing any further explanation.
"Plaintiff was told by the MSUCC staff that they had seen a lot of these cases with 'guys with big names' and the best thing to do is to 'just get yourself better' implying to the Plaintiff that it would not be in the Plaintiff's best interest to report the incident to law enforcement," the suit states.
