I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
Hi all, I apologize for posting this in the Game section, but honestly I have no idea where to put it. If a mod wants to move it to an appropriate location, please do so.
I'm currently being charged with sexual assault by two girls who I hooked up with two years ago. [delete]
Additionally, the college policy is not "Innocent until proven guilty" but said literally to me by a college official "More likely than not".
The situation is that even if these charges are proven false, I won't be able to get my degree until after the investigation into me finishes. If they're accepted, I'll be expelled or suspended.
They've told me that I should look into an advocate or adviser for myself, someone on the faculty or even a lawyer. I'm not close to any professors or administrative staff, and even so I wouldn't trust them with serious accusations like these. Can any of you recommend a lawyer nearby who specializes in these cases, or tell me what you think I should do in my situation? I'm really loosing my shit over this, especially because I'll have to tell my parents I'm not graduating, or might not ever be. Please, what the fuck do I do? Let me know if you have any questions or want more information. I'm incredibly grateful for whatever help you can offer.

RE: I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
Bitches making claims now from things that happened two years ago?
I'm no attorney, but it sounds like a straightforward case...except this is an university.
As a RVF attorney would say, "Get an attorney in your state".
Also, don't feel alone OP....we have your back. If you need to talk or vent, PM me or Telegram me.

RE: I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
Get a lawyer with EXPERIENCE in these cases, stop talking about your case, and have the lawyer threaten the school with lawsuits as well as sue the girls and their families for defamation of character and anything else your lawyer can think of.
Also if you have any old texts, facebook/instagram messages, or whatever showing the girls were into you then you'll need those.
Main point is you need to lawyer the fuck up yesterday

Keep your mouth shut and hire a lawyer immediately. No oral statements, don't sign anything. NOTHING, till you get a lawyer.
The only answer if asked anything is "lawyer".

RE: I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
OP, tell your parents. They will have your back and you need folks in your corner right now. What you need is an administrative law attorney. I do not have any recommendations but can inquire within my network for you.

RE: I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
Ah, your location.  You need a lawyer, and speaking from experience with that region, I would suggest you find one in "the city" or at least in the nearest significant town that is not at all tied to your university.
Lawyers up there are all trapped in the fishbowl with each other fucking each others' wives and will invariably softball your case as a favor to somebody. It can be a cloistered, tight-knit legal community. Most people I've known who were particularly successful in court or otherwise in that region got a lawyer from "the city" who didn't have any objections to burning bridges in your region like Genghis Khan.
Obviously, don't speak about your case at all. Every single word comes through your lawyer.
EDIT: I would further suggest editing this OP and removing specific references to your region, the accusations, and your timeline. If someone Googles and finds this thread, they'll be able to get the rest of your posts as well and may be able to use anything you've written about your sex life against you.

On a serious note, everyone worried about this should install SMSbackup to you can save your text messages for years without any effort.

RE: I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
definitely get a lawyer, probably a criminal defense lawyer.
excellent advice above to not discuss with anyone, try to develop evidence, and consider going on the offense but through your attorney only - say nothing about this.
be thankful they waited two years because it makes their case look very weak, and be thankful this is not a criminal matter.
as for who to hire, you can call you state bar association for a referral. someone with experience defending against these kind of quasi-criminal cases in the university setting is worth paying extra for.

RE: I NEED HELP/ A LAWYER: Sexual Assault Charges
Thanks for the advice about lawyering the fuck up. I'm looking at lawyers right now.

Have you been formally charged by the University?
So this just came out of the blue 2 years after the fact?
Have you had any contact, seen these girls since?
Do they know each other?
I am about to be formally charged by the university, and yes it did just come out of the blue, blindsiding me when I didn't expect it.
I know why one of the girls is charging me, and thats because on a drunken night out when I was in a really bad headspace, I told him about his gf's past history with me. Mistake I know, should have stfu. I don't know why I did it, but I regret it every fucking day and at this point beating myself up about it too much won't do any more good. I get I fucked up and now I'm paying the consequences for it. The other girl, I have no idea why. We were making out and shit in a public place, so there were plenty of witnesses (who I dont remember) who saw it was 100% consensual. This girl does have a reputation as kind of crazy now, but she was a new transfer student then, so I didn't know that. I don't think they know each other, but it is a small campus. I have not had any contact with these girls since then and have no intention of ever talking to them again.

Thanks, I dread making that call but I will. I'll pm you about this. I'm really grateful that you're willing to do this for me.

The falsely-accused male student just won the right to sue the school after he was cleared. Contemplate the strategy of making it clear you will be suing your school when you are cleared. But that needs to be given by your lawyer via formal notice.
The tide is turning against college administrations who are embracing this vindictive "rape culture" bullshit.
My heart goes out to you, brother. Please follow the advice of those above. Another idea is character references from ex-girlfriends and their friends. (Make sure they won't say anything indicting, though. Only secure references you trust.)
You don't think this will damage whatever good relationship we have left? I'll keep in mind the right to sue, but would that really help the situation at all?

You will be lynched by the university. You need to hire a lawyer who is familiar with these cases, and write to any local representatives, especially any high profile Republicans in your community.
Talk to your parents. Collect all past communication from these girls, including Facebook chats.
I'm quite aware that the university wants to lynch me. Already saving the screenshots of texts and putting them into a file for my lawyer, whenever I get him. I don't have fb chats, but the texts make it pretty obvious they were hitting on me. Looking at the college procedure right now and I don't even get a fucking hearing.
Edit: Are there any mods reading this who can delete some of the specific information I posted originally? I'm trying to edit the post but it says I can't change until 60 min have passed, which they have and I still can't edit it.

What good relationship do you you have left?
You said it yourself: Quote:I'm quite aware that the university wants to lynch me

This is not a dispute. This is not a disagreement which can be solved amicably. This is war.
Fight for your life or consign yourself to becoming a statistic.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the single biggest motivator for these claims seems to be when a woman's reputation falls apart and it's going to cost her with her family or friends. Suddenly, drunkenly choking down some dick on vacation turns into a brutal assault, because she can't allow herself to be known as "that kind of girl".
$5 says the friend heard about it and suddenly decided she was a victim, too, out of girl power solidarity. Old-fashioned gentlemanly discretion can prevent this.

Let your lawyer be the tough guy. He'll communicate that you're taking this seriously and will fight it to the last in a way that makes you look good. As for the "good relationship", your university is not your friend. You have a working relationship with them and right now it's adversarial. Your mission is to get out with your reputation and degree.

It's worth noting that in the Amherst case mentioned above, I believe a judge rejected the plaintiff's attempt to subpoena records from the woman (the plaintiff's girlfriend's roommate) because he was suing the university, and since she was not a party to the case, only a potential witness, the judge deemed it excessively traumatic to involve her in the litigation.
Unfortunately, those records, her text messages, are sort of important.
http://reason.com/blog/2017/01/31/amhers...exual-misc
One logical conclusion is that you're left with little choice but to name the woman as a defendant if you want to ensure that she will be required to cooperate with the legal process against the university. Leaving her out of it to look magnanimous may not be in your best interest.

Nothin but truth.
I've witnessed this several times in my life. It happened in two separate situations with women I knew, during acts I personally witnessed. Consensual acts.
That is until in the first situation the school found out and rumors spread that my female friend had sucked 3 dicks at the same party and fucked one guy.
And the second situation where my neighbor's girlfriend cheated with another neighbor and her boyfriend found out so she claimed he drugged and raped her.
Fucking women I swear to god.
