As a Northeastern student: I don’t think her evidence necessarily proves it. She has a rape kit, but it’s possible his DNA wasn’t present as the test happened a few days after the alleged assault, it may just prove she was raped. It’s also possible foreign DNA was present but they don’t have a sample of his DNA to confirm/deny. She is suing Northeastern for their mishandling of the case, based on her inability to appeal and the failure on their part to save recordings from the original trial. She also seems to be claiming she wasn’t provided with appropriate accommodations in terms of classes, housing, and counseling.
I don’t understand why she wouldn’t pursue her assailant criminally at this point, given that she’s already admitted the incident happened and gone public with the story (she’s not part of the sexual assault victims pressured into silence, so she has nothing to lose) unless her only evidence is her account of the evening and knows her case wouldn’t go anywhere. It has been three years plus since the incident, and I could understand if she was exhausted of these legal proceedings by now.
