John Doe v. Denison University, Case No. 10-CV-0703
Jane Doe made four certifiably false allegations against John Doe. Ample witnesses testify to the appropriate nature with which Doe handled the sexual encounters with Roe. The university also purged documents and emails pertaining to Doe’s expulsion hearing, hindering the appeal process and pointing toward a biased, unethical, and unlawful internal investigation. The investigative panel also accepted Roe’s opinions and suspicions as truth, whereas the corroborated facts and accurate recollections of Doe were completely ignored.

As evidenced by a medical examiner, there was absolutely no contact by Doe to Roe’s vagina, despite sexual assault claims that vaginal penetration occurred. Doe is suing the university and Roe for 10 counts of misconduct in the investigation, including the intentional infliction of distress, basic due process violations, and a severely biased and unethical internal proceeding.

Roe surprised Doe by giving him oral sex and requested that they engage in vaginal sex. In the following days, Roe submitted a sexual assault claim to the university. As promised by a dean at the school, the investigation would stop if Doe withdrew from the university, which he did; however, the school continued the investigation. Doe sued the school for seven counts of defamation, breach of contract, and due process violations.

John Doe v. Denison University, Case No. 1:1-cv-1599
On the night of August 27, 2011, Jane Roe began making advances toward John Doe at a party, like grinding in the genital region of his pants and tugging at his shirt to encourage him to leave the party and go back to his dorm room together. When asked about the sexual activity the next day, Roe brushed off the question with a nonchalant remark, showing no signs of distress. As information of that night leaked, Roe incurred humiliation. She filed a sexual assault claim, and sure enough, Doe was expelled. Doe sued the university on 11 counts of defamation, libel, breach of contract, breach of implied contact, and due process rights violations.

John Doe v. Marietta College, Case No. 2:15-cv-02816-EAS-TPK
On June 27, 2014, Jane Roe claimed to have been stalked by an unsuspected male. In a circuitous investigation, the university cornered John Doe in having “stalked” Jane Roe in instances when he would acknowledge her presence and stay away from her, but not entirely leave the room in which she dwelled. The university imposed sanctions on Doe, among which he supposedly breached, and was further punished. Doe sued the university on three counts of breach of contract.

John Doe v. Miami University, Case No. 1:15-cv-00605-MRB
On September 14, 2014, Jane Doe decided to spend the night in John Doe’s room, which housed his roommate as well. Doe was drunk and lying in bed when Roe, sober, crawled into bed with him. Some consensual sexual activity ensued, and the two started the following day running errands with each other. Despite Doe’s inability to initiate sexual contact and hereby consent to sexual contact, the university opened an investigation. Despite witness statements that point toward a congenial encounter between them; despite Roe trying to dissuade the university from taking action against Doe; despite Doe already having filed for medical leave due to depression, the university imposed stern sanctions against him, including a year suspension and a year probation, granted that is allowed readmission. Doe is suing the university on eight counts of Title IX, due process, and other civil rights violations.

Doe was soon after expelled. Doe is suing the university for violating his basic due process rights, and alleges that the investigative panel was ill-equipped, untrained and partial in their proceedings.

John Doe v. Ohio State University, Case No. 2:15-cv-02830-GLF-TPK
On in June, 2014, John Doe and Jane Roe met each other at a bar. After flirting for a month, they agreed to have sex on the night of July 12. Following the romantic evening, in which goodbye kisses were exchanged and romantic text messages followed, the two continued to talk nonchalantly. Nine months later, on May 1, 2015, Roe filed a complaint against Doe to the university, claiming that she had “absolutely no memory” of the night, implying that she had been sexually assaulted since she cannot remember consenting—nearly a year ago. She filed the claim to relieve herself of some academic repercussions due to her poor grades, explicitly admitting that she did not want to harm Doe’s future or life in any way. Doe was expelled from the university. Doe sued the university on five counts of defamation, Title IX, due process and civil rights violations.

John Doe v. Ohio University, Case No. 2:15-cv-775
Over the course of 2014 and 2015, John Doe developed romantic feelings for Jane Roe. He sent her more suggestive and “forward” texts. No sexual contact ever occurred between them. Roe felt uncomfortable in the presence of Doe, and was upset by some of the texts he frequently sent her. She reported this to the university under the pretense that Doe was trying to sleep with her. The university held a hearing concerning the allegations, and without any witness statements, witnesses, or mere evidence to support either side, found Doe guilty of sexual misconduct, suspending him for a semester and only allowing readmission after a lengthy, punitive corrections program. Doe sued the university on five counts of free speech, Title IX and other civil rights breaches.

John Doe v. Xavier University, Case No. 1:13-CV-00575
In the early morning of July 7, 2012, Jane Roe led John Doe back to her room, asked for Doe to retrieve a condom, and subsequently initiated sexual intercourse with Doe. The following day, Roe accused Doe of sexual assault. Although Roe refused to press criminal charges against Roe; although the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office advised Father Graham of the university to terminate the internal university investigation; although the rape test kit was negative; although the investigative panel prejudiced Doe in forcing him to prove his innocence and assigned him an unqualified, untrained advisor to assist him in the process, Doe was expelled from the university one month after the incident. The university also publicly humiliated and slandered Doe by publishing the expulsion letter on media outlets. Doe sued the university on eight counts of student code breaches.
