Student Expelled for Sexual Misconduct Can’t Defend Himself—It Would ‘Impose Psychological Trauma'

"Amherst Student Expelled for Sexual Misconduct Can’t Defend Himself—It Would ‘Impose Psychological Trauma’ on Accuser
John Doe says there's evidence his female accuser assaulted him. But a judge won't make her cooperate"

A male student is accused of sexual misconduct...and is NOT allowed to defend himself against his accuser because it might cause her 'psychological trauma'.


What Liberal BS is this?
What happened to the right to face your accuser?
What happened to innocent until proven guilty'?


"Remember Amherst College student "John Doe," who was expelled for sexual misconduct, even though he had good reason to believe that his accuser had actually assaulted him? A judge recently blocked Doe's attempt to subpoena his female accuser's text messages on grounds that re-litigating the matter "would impose emotional and psychological trauma" on her.

Consider the implications of this decision. According to Seattle District Judge James Robart, a student who believes Amherst violated his due process rights, wrongfully expelled him, and ignored subsequent evidence that his accuser, "Sandra Jones," was the actual violator of the college's sexual misconduct policies, does not deserve the opportunity to make his case because someone else's feelings are more important."

These things do happen in courts where judges that do not believe that everyone is entitled to the basic rights we are supposed to be afforded here.
