<p>May 1, 2007 -- A Bronx woman is suing Yale University for $20 million over an alleged sexual assault she said the school is trying to cover up.</p>
<p>The 20-year-old history major said a former boyfriend, also a Yale student, sexually assaulted her in her dorm room after a school-sponsored party - and university officials looked the other way.</p>
<p>Gregory Korb, 20, of South Orange, N.J., was arrested and charged with sexual assault and unlawful restraint after the August 2005 attack.</p>
<p>He was allowed to walk away a year later with no jail time after pleading no-contest to misdemeanor charges of assault and threatening under a probation deal that barred him from returning to campus for 18 months.</p>
<p>"She did not feel vindicated," said the accuser's mother, one of the plaintiffs in the suit that names Korb as a defendant.</p>
<p>"She felt duped."</p>
<p>The deal apparently was not enough to keep Korb off campus. The woman, whose name is being withheld, got wind of an on-campus party to celebrate Korb's freedom and called university officials to have him removed.</p>
<p>The suit alleges that sexual assault occurred after "Club Yale," a school-sponsored social event held each year before the fall semester. The woman said the party is nothing more than a boozefest.</p>
<p>"Yale provided the facilities and encouraged its students to attend and party at 'Camp Yale,' providing and making available alcohol to all students, including those under the legal drinking age," the suit says.</p>
<p>"Yale provided no security and enforced no policies of conduct to limit or monitor the activities or their duration."</p>
<p>The student and her mother said the university also ignored what they described as "a history of assaultive and violent behavior," including an incident in which Korb allegedly bit a male student.</p>
<p>The woman who filed the suit said she was bitten on her face and breasts and forced to perform oral sex on Korb.</p>
<p>According to the suit, Yale failed to beef up security and warn students.</p>
<p>A Yale spokesman said the university would not comment on the suit. Kolb's lawyer did not return calls for comment.</p>
<p>The accuser's mother said the student receives counseling over the attack, and once even contemplated suicide.</p>
<p>"She's not the same person she was, and she never will be again," she said.</p>
<p>This sounds awful. Can anybody offer any info in Yale's defense?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, "date rape" or "student rape" is very common on college campuses (and off). Based on the national averages, statistically speaking, schools like Yale and Harvard probably each have about 100 student/date rapes per year similar to the one mentioned in the lawsuit above. Schools like UC-Berkeley probably have over 400. Many are not reported. Schools are making efforts to reduce the numbers of these incidents and there is a lot of literature available on how you can protect yourself.</p>
<p>You were smart enough to get into Yale.
Screen who you date properly and carefully.
Behave yourself in a proper manner so that you do not give your date wrong idea.</p>
<p>Wow. The above poster is a douche. How can you go about blaming the girl when the school didnt do anything about it? It's still Yale's fault. Phucker, dont try to cover it up for them.</p>
<p>Korb and only Korb was responsible for the attack. I do not think Yale should be held accountable because it sponsors "Camp Yale". Also my experience is that Yale administrators are quite supportive of students approaching them with problems. However, what is troubling (and where Yale may be responsible for a serious misstep) is that the suit alleges that Korb returned to campus during his court ordered probation to sign papers.</p>
<p>well you could get gang raped which makes it harder. the guy could hurt you/threaten to kill you. you could be intoxicated, rendering you weak and defenseless. he could also be stronger and thus overpower you. yea i think considering the circumstances, it's not impossible to get raped...</p>
