Montana quarterback receives $245K settlement for university’s ‘unfair and biased’ rape investigation
...
Jordan Johnson was the star quarterback for the University of Montana. He was tall and handsome and an NFL hopeful. He had nearly led the team to a national title.
Then, suddenly, he was accused of rape.
On March 19, 2012, a Missoula television station reported that a female student had filed a restraining order against Johnson after he allegedly raped her six weeks earlier. Life quickly unraveled for Johnson. He was expelled from school, then criminally charged with rape. In February of 2013, a year after the alleged incident, he went on trial.
The accusation divided the college town, already on edge over a series of rape accusations, including several against other UM football players.
Missoula was labeled the “rape capital” of the country. Investigative reporter Jon Krakauer turned the town, and Johnson’s trial, into the centerpiece of a book on America’s college campus rape epidemic.
But then came a series of blindside hits to the narrative.
Johnson was acquitted in March of 2013. He promptly sued the university.
And on Tuesday, four years after the alleged rape took place, it was announced that the ex-quarterback would receive $245,000 over the expulsion.
“Any student accused of wrongdoing deserves a fair and impartial hearing of the facts of his or her case,” Johnson said in the statement, according to the Associated Press. “Officials at the University of Montana — people who were in positions of great power — were unfair and biased. Their misconduct made my family and me suffer unnecessarily, both emotionally and financially.”
The dramatic reversal is just one of a slew of lawsuits nationwide in which young men have accused universities of erroneously and over-zealously clamping down on sexual assault...

Good. The events of the trial showed the accuser had zero credibility (and that she probably planned to accuse Johnson of rape before she banged him), so it's nice to see Jordan Johnson get something back after being hosed by an administration that decided to jump about seven guns.

This is a good outcome - and will hopefully make school admins think twice about blindly believing every story.
Every rape allegation should be treated as that - an allegation. Take it serious (not like FSU did), but don't drag the accused into the mud until facts are known.

How much did the DOJ and the Title IX police breathing down UM's neck affect their decision to use reckless judgement? If they had acted sensibly would Obama make an example of UM?
