From the Washington Post:
A newspaper vanished from the internet. Did someone pay to kill it?
The Hook, a beloved Charlottesville weekly, closed a decade ago but its archives lived on — until its 22,000 stories were suddenly taken offline in June. Former staffers have theories about its mystery buyer.
By Paul Farhi
December 14, 2022 at 10:40 a.m. ESTOne day in early June, a swath of Charlottesville’s history all but vanished from the internet.
Thousands of stories reported by the Hook — a defunct local paper whose online archives nevertheless had continued to inform historians, residents and public officials — disappeared. Anyone trying to read old stories about the university town’s sagas, scandals and sundry crimes was greeted by the same error message: “Sorry!”
… But some of the Hook’s founding journalists suspect the archive didn’t simply expire from natural causes. They think someone paid to kill it.
Their evidence, while circumstantial, is intriguing. There’s the mystery buyer who purchased the Hook archive from its longtime custodian a few months before it went dark. There’s the reluctance of people involved in that sale to say much about it.
Then there’s the flurry of copyright complaints apparently filed by the new owner in the days and weeks after the sale. These complaints, seeking removal of links to the archive, have targeted news sites, discussion forums and small-time blogs, most of which cited one particular story among the thousands the Hook wrote about in its heyday: a rape accusation involving students at the University of Virginia nearly 19 years ago. …
… One of those people was Curtis N. Ofori, now a D.C.-based investment banker and accountant. Ofori was a 21-year-old junior at U-Va. in 2004, when another student accused him of raping her in her room. After an investigation, an associate dean wrote that Ofori “used very bad judgment,” but said the university “was not able to conclude at the clear and convincing level” that he committed sexual assault, so it found him “not guilty,” according to a copy of a letter detailing its findings. Police investigated, but city prosecutors declined to file charges, Ofori’s lawyer would later state in a letter to the Hook.
Susan Russell, the mother of Ofori’s accuser, nevertheless led a years-long campaign to publicize her daughter’s case, hoping it might lead to reform….
In late 2011, the Hook published a cover story by Stuart about the Russell family’s efforts, including a detailed description of the alleged rape, under a stark headline: “Unsilenced: How this mother fought to protect her daughter … and yours.” The story named Ofori as the alleged perpetrator, even though he had not been convicted or held responsible for any crime.
Ofori tried several times to have the accusations expunged from the public record. …
He also attempted to use other means to clear his name. A public database shows that, in 2011, he filed a request asking Google to stop linking to a Center for Public Integrity page containing a document prepared as part of the Russell family’s aborted legal effort; Ofori wrote in his request that it was “false” and defamatory because it was never filed in court. …
C-Ville Weekly’s principal owner, Blair Kelly, hung up on a Post reporter when first asked about the sale. But in subsequent interviews, he and Bill Chapman, a part owner of C-Ville Holdings, confirmed they sold the archive. They said they never learned the buyer’s identity, because a lawyer had acted as a go-between, but they wouldn’t provide any more details about the sale to The Post. C-Ville’s publisher, Anna Harrison, did not respond to requests for comment.
Spencer was at a loss as to why someone would want the archive taken down. But in the late summer, a longtime reader of the Hook tipped him off to another possible clue.
The tipster had noticed that, beginning in January — shortly after Spencer thinks the Hook’s archive was sold — an entity calling itself Experiential Solutions began sending takedown requests to Google, complaining that various news sites, blogs and discussion forums were infringing on the Hook’s copyrights. As catalogued on a Harvard University-hosted database called Lumen, the requests continued through late August and targeted 18 different webpages that reference alleged violent incidents at U-Va. The vast majority of the pages have one common denominator: the Ofori case.
An analysis by The Post found that 14 of the 18 targeted pages referenced Ofori, his accuser or her mother, or linked to Hook articles that did. …
Ofori did not respond to multiple phone calls or messages left at his home and the company he co-directs, Greenhall Capital Partners, an investment firm in downtown Washington.
This major story in the Washington Post doesn’t, however, include a photo of Mr. Ofori.

I’m getting a Buddy Fletcher vibe here.
Typically disgustingly, some of the many emails goosing me to attend my (I think) 25th Harvard College reunion were promoting an opportunity to give a TEDish talk to my assembled classmates. The talk I briefly considered giving–the only reason I might have attended, which I didn’t–would have been called “Three World-Class Swindlers I Met at Harvard…And What I Learned From Them!!”
Along with Buddy Fletcher, the other two were Florian Homm (whom I liked a great deal, and whose guilt is less clear-cut than the others’ I think) and Viktor Kožený, who always struck me as super-suspect. Anyway, this guy reminds me a lot of Buddy, who like Viktor always skeeved me out.
Given that Florian was a half decade or so older than the other two, was he somehow held back several years, or were you splitting your time between HBS and Harvard Yard?Replies: @slumber_j

FWIW, I’m getting the impression that the Washington Post (and their ilk) perceive that the time is right to relitigate some of these old chestnuts in the Court of Public Opinion.
In fact, I have it on good authority that Haven M. closely resembles one Officer Derek Chauvin.
Those Duke boys had better watch their backs. Seriously, can you imagine these cases coming up now?

The public is cowed by copyright claims, but they don’t apply to situations like this. Copyright claims for a newspaper apply only to contemporaneous copying by people selling other newspapers. They don’t apply to historians or investigators years later.
Most people don't have/want the table stakes necessary to get into the American legal casino.
Loser-Pays rules ("the English rule") could help with this.
Then there’s the 2014 rape and murder of Hannah Graham by Jesse Matthews, but that will never be as well known as the Night of Broken Glass. The narrative works in such a way that a good number of MSNBC viewer types will tell you some variation of ‘the frat boys got away with a gang rape’ and they will have no knowledge of the Graham murder or the 2020 gunpoint rape by a black life that matters or the one this guy wanted people to forget.
He needn’t have bothered. His case is deep down the memory hole. Haven Monahan is a UVA legend.
Ofori – most journalists will stop right there when they read the name and decide the story is best left alone. If only his name was Curtis Offerton IV, Sabrina Rubin Erdely would be on the case.
Then you hit "Ofori". Ok, 'nuf said.

Wow, this is a hell of a Streisand Effect: he tried so hard to suppress all discussion that he got written up in WaPo. Very vague quote from the dean, wonder what actually happened.
Attempts to hide, remove, or censor information often have the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information via the Internet. This is called the Streisand effect. It is named after American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project's photograph of her cliff-top residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to the photograph in 2003.

One thing pops to mind.
So, was the girl white?
I honestly think that a lot of these black-boy-rapes-white-girl situations are simply a cultural mismatch. Communication works differently between the two cultures. Vd. Kochman’s classic study “Black and White Styles in Conflict.” I think this also explains some of the puzzling ways that blacks interact with the cops. Also, the helpless deer-in-the-headlights way that middle class whites women react to hostile black “diversity” trainers.
Emily Yoffe blew the lid off of the little-publicized fact that most university Title 9 cases involve white girls and black guys, in the Atlantic five years ago. No doesn’t mean no to black guys, and white girls don’t have the Rosetta Stone to help them say no to black guys.
Most white boys won't force themselves on a girl if she says no. Some will, but most have been raised to be polite enough not to do it unless there is some other ambiguity. Sure, they'll be persistent, but that's only in order to get an affirmation. But a white girl simply and continuously saying "no" and not doing anything else isn't going to get raped by most white boys.
Most white girls have been taught and conditioned to let potential suitors down gently so as not to hurt their feelings. "Let's just be friends" isn't necessarily meant literally, but most white girls aren't looking for long term hostility either. They're just not interested sexually.
But a white girl who doesn't immediately jump up and kick a black out of the room and slam the door with both hands is asking to eventually be assaulted and she needs to be very wary of future interactions going forward with said black. He'll keep trying as long as she's nice to him, as she has been conditioned to be, regardless of her stated desired (or lack thereof) for sex, and he'll keep taking the niceness as an invitation to keep looking for opportunities to force himself on her.Replies: @Kylie, @AnotherDad
The whole line of b.s.--feminist and minoritarian--that that colleges spew out at young women actually makes rape much, much more likely.
Explaining to young women a few very simple ideas and rules would help women avoid rape and these occasional rape-murders.
-- Men and women are biologically very different from very different "investment" in sex and pregnancy. (You could blab on book length on this topic.) Young men, however much they are interested in romance/commitment, want to get sex.
-- Casual sex is not beneficial to women--certainly not to their long term happiness. It erodes a woman's sexual bonding with her eventual husband, makes divorce more likely. For most women, life long happiness will come from having having a family/children. Prioritize trying to find a young man of good character who has similar perspectives and interest in marriage and building a family together.
-- Do not get drunk. Being drunk makes you "easy prey" for men to take advantage of you. Even with moderate alcohol your inhibitions are lowered and your judgment, recognition of "trouble" and ability to escape it are all impaired. If you want to experience getting drunk--do it at home with friends.
-- Use the buddy system. Always socialize with a girl-buddy(ies). And do so with an understanding--and a rock solid "no-excuses" pact--that you never separate. "No girl left behind" should be your motto and practice.
-- Never be alone with a man who is not your husband/finance/boyfriend--someone you trust and/or are already intimate with or willing to be intimate with. You do not end up in your room--much less his room/apartment--with a "date", much less someone you just met at a party, a stranger.
-- Men from different ethnic/cultural backgrounds have different expectations of female behavior. They can be much more sexually aggressive and can misinterpret American friendliness in a young woman or simply exploit it to pursue sexual conquest. Be firm and direct in rejecting sexual advances. And do not be "friendly" or continue any interact with such men, or they will simply continue to think you are "game" and continue to attempt sexual conquest.
-- In general, do not "go out" or "party" with men would are not either part of your trusted friend group or prospective husband material. Men who are not prospective husband material are a waste of your time--and possibly trouble.
-- Do not let men exploit your natural friendliness and desire to help. Rapists have often exploited women's desire to "be nice" and to "help". You are the weaker sex, much more vulnerable and do not need to--should not--be the "good Samaritan". Strange men trying to get your attention or help or friendship are often up to no good. It is not impolite, but responsible, to ignore them. (If they actually need help they can get it elsewhere--from other men.)

I edited this down a bit. Here’s the final draft:
*Police investigated, but city prosecutors declined to file charges,*
I’m standing near a station serving only Red Bull with vodka when I meet Otis Ofori, 24, who, along with his twin brother, Curtis, is another star of LNS. I ask him what it is like to be a black man among such a uniformly white crowd. (I recently found a profile on the site for one Tyrone Biggums, who lists his skills as “Suckin dick for crack and drinkin red bawls!”) Ofori leans forward, reaches for my waist, and pulls me close. He says he knows people talk behind his back, but he doesn’t care. He’s rich, and that’s all that matters. “My brother and I, we do all right,” he says. “Guys with money can do whatever they want.” He grabs me again and says, “You’re kind of cute.”

Welcome to diversity. There’s really only one subgroup of one color of people who ever understood, loved, and demonstrated the power of freedom of speech, in those cases when they did. The human default is what you see in the introduction and epilogue of the movie Hara-kiri. This is the future of America.
This is kind of why things should be actually printed, or turned into pdf form and stored on a CD or flashdrive or something.
And tangentially, it is also why nothing seems to have happened before 1995. If it can’t be found with a web search, meaning only the top 20 results, it doesn’t exist.
A smarter person would have deleted just the one story (or maybe a random selection of other stories to obscure the motive for deletions). Ofori apparently has more money than brains.
Sure, but who defends in these cases?
First, it’s The Grounds, not “the campus”. Know it, learn it, live it.
Second, linking to a website doesn’t even touch copyright.
Third, could justice for Jackie Coakley be on the horizon?
Fourth, you can find a swastika anywhere if you really work at it. I don’t care. I’m with Team Palestine. Suck it, Jews.
Fifth, the took down website is probably still available at archive.org

The Wikipedia article is now being ‘considered for deletion’.

Ofori is a Ghanaian name.
However the more interesting one will be the Wikipedia article for The Hook. This is a bit harder to take down because it's been up for years and probably has implicit notability as a newspaper.
If Ofori is keen on protecting his online reputation he'll probably go for this article, and there are people who will do that editing for you for a fee. Anyway the attack seems to have started:

There are even at least 8 reported in Iceland.
But it seems like being all the way in the North Atlantic it’s pretty hard these days to boil the frog with why there are Nigerians and Iraqis there.

Or more of an appalling vista, the immigrants themselves exert enough political and social power to make it harder to stop.

Unfortunately instead of deporting them back home, they are sending them to Greece where they will most likely eventually make their way to North West Europe.

Without getting into the racial element here (of which my advice to white girls would not be utterable in polite company of our era), it seems obvious to me that our ancestors had the right idea about things. Society should be set up so as to minimize the possibility of unrelated, unmarried men and women from being alone together. This is not only to prevent rape but also accusations of rape, and undesireable outcomes of consensual* sex.
*One should note that the idea of “consent” as decoupled from marriage is very far from universal

Since then, journolists have been disinclined to do campus rape investigations seeing as the stories all turn out to be either fabricated or off-narrative (B→W).

Not that much unless you have a really good case.
Regarding the issue at hand I am not aware of any rule that the copyright on a newspaper article expires after a short period of time. There is something called fair use which allows limited quotations but I don’t think you are allowed to entirely reproduce even 20 year old copyrighted newspaper articles.

On the other hand, the Biden administration has reinstituted the kangaroo court procedures for adjudicating sexual assault claims that Obama put in originally. So even though coverage of campus rape is way down, the administrative machinery is in place to throw men out of school in cases of regret sex. See grievance procedures in the chart below.

This is an excellent observation.
Most white boys won’t force themselves on a girl if she says no. Some will, but most have been raised to be polite enough not to do it unless there is some other ambiguity. Sure, they’ll be persistent, but that’s only in order to get an affirmation. But a white girl simply and continuously saying “no” and not doing anything else isn’t going to get raped by most white boys.
Most white girls have been taught and conditioned to let potential suitors down gently so as not to hurt their feelings. “Let’s just be friends” isn’t necessarily meant literally, but most white girls aren’t looking for long term hostility either. They’re just not interested sexually.
But a white girl who doesn’t immediately jump up and kick a black out of the room and slam the door with both hands is asking to eventually be assaulted and she needs to be very wary of future interactions going forward with said black. He’ll keep trying as long as she’s nice to him, as she has been conditioned to be, regardless of her stated desired (or lack thereof) for sex, and he’ll keep taking the niceness as an invitation to keep looking for opportunities to force himself on her.
Very true, as I learned when I moved to a mixed-race neighborhood. The black guys there were not as arrogant and privileged as the Ofori twins but they were persistent. I was determined to avoid that crap without teeing anyone off. So I just treated the whole thing as a joke. "A good-looking guy like you can't do better?" "No, I am really not interested in that. Let's just be friends." Etc.
Somewhat surprisingly, it worked. I wasn't subjected to the constant harassment other women dealt with and I didn't make any enemies. It helped that I'm not easily intimidated and name-calling doesn't phase me.
This was in a college town with lots of foreign students. The African male grad students were just as bad as the African-American males. Must be a genet--nah, couldn't be that.
Of course, most young white women have this stupid idea that it shouldn't matter how much they drink, how revealing their clothes are, how late they stay out, how dicey the neighborhoods they frequent, etc. They should never ever be harassed or treated as other than the ones calling the shots when it comes to sex.
The mistake here--driven by the destruction of the old sexual code plus minoritarianism pushing "racism!" as the great sin--is that young white women allow any interaction with a black man to take place.
No man who is not her intended should be in her room--or her in his--to start with. But beyond that, a white women should not be socializing with, chatting up, partying with black men. They are not appropriate marriage partners for her. And she is just a chance to fuck a white girl for him.Replies: @Anon

BH Obama Sr. had 11 children, including a number of sons. You can spelunk around a bit and see what they actually do look like. The pic you’re most likely to pull up is that of a vagrant in Boston. The son he sired by his November 1960 shag with the unutterably plain girl in his Russian class has a mug that is very familiar the world over.

In the “before time” there were very obvious and common sense rules for girls that made rape quite unlikely.
The whole line of b.s.–feminist and minoritarian–that that colleges spew out at young women actually makes rape much, much more likely.
Explaining to young women a few very simple ideas and rules would help women avoid rape and these occasional rape-murders.
— Men and women are biologically very different from very different “investment” in sex and pregnancy. (You could blab on book length on this topic.) Young men, however much they are interested in romance/commitment, want to get sex.
— Casual sex is not beneficial to women–certainly not to their long term happiness. It erodes a woman’s sexual bonding with her eventual husband, makes divorce more likely. For most women, life long happiness will come from having having a family/children. Prioritize trying to find a young man of good character who has similar perspectives and interest in marriage and building a family together.
— Do not get drunk. Being drunk makes you “easy prey” for men to take advantage of you. Even with moderate alcohol your inhibitions are lowered and your judgment, recognition of “trouble” and ability to escape it are all impaired. If you want to experience getting drunk–do it at home with friends.
— Use the buddy system. Always socialize with a girl-buddy(ies). And do so with an understanding–and a rock solid “no-excuses” pact–that you never separate. “No girl left behind” should be your motto and practice.
— Never be alone with a man who is not your husband/finance/boyfriend–someone you trust and/or are already intimate with or willing to be intimate with. You do not end up in your room–much less his room/apartment–with a “date”, much less someone you just met at a party, a stranger.
— Men from different ethnic/cultural backgrounds have different expectations of female behavior. They can be much more sexually aggressive and can misinterpret American friendliness in a young woman or simply exploit it to pursue sexual conquest. Be firm and direct in rejecting sexual advances. And do not be “friendly” or continue any interact with such men, or they will simply continue to think you are “game” and continue to attempt sexual conquest.
— In general, do not “go out” or “party” with men would are not either part of your trusted friend group or prospective husband material. Men who are not prospective husband material are a waste of your time–and possibly trouble.
— Do not let men exploit your natural friendliness and desire to help. Rapists have often exploited women’s desire to “be nice” and to “help”. You are the weaker sex, much more vulnerable and do not need to–should not–be the “good Samaritan”. Strange men trying to get your attention or help or friendship are often up to no good. It is not impolite, but responsible, to ignore them. (If they actually need help they can get it elsewhere–from other men.)

Other folks could probably improve upon those and toss in a few more, but I think that sort of messaging would improve women’s campus experience and safety quite a bit.
All your advice is sound enough, and probably would eliminate nine out of ten sexual assaults, but...
it would also eliminate nine out of ten sexual assaults if black men were just never allowed to be alone with non-black women.

Men who do dangerous jobs tend to love their family more than their life. It's as if their own life depended on it. Like the hunter going on the hunt who hugs and kisses for maybe the last time. They love stronger deeper and longer than any man. They may not come back and what is left behind is so important to them. That is the epitome of a man; some one todays she/males will never emulate.
I can't imagine anyone not having the utmost respect for a man, who is a man.
But on the other spectrum of things, White men are the most self righteous pieces of shit that ever walked the face of the earth, regardless of how internally sinful they really are. They often find themselves much better than their counterpart women and treat women generally especially/exclusively white women like shit.

I know she has strong shoulders, but my general impression is that on the inside she’s a girly girl interested in fashion, food, fitness, and family, with very little interest in being an alpha.

I think decorative arts is a special interest of hers. She had such a strange work life. People willing to pay her $150,000 and then $300,000 for no output you can measure. None dare call it money laundering.
Typically disgustingly, some of the many emails goosing me to attend my (I think) 25th Harvard College reunion were promoting an opportunity to give a TEDish talk to my assembled classmates. The talk I briefly considered giving--the only reason I might have attended, which I didn't--would have been called "Three World-Class Swindlers I Met at Harvard...And What I Learned From Them!!"
Along with Buddy Fletcher, the other two were Florian Homm (whom I liked a great deal, and whose guilt is less clear-cut than the others' I think) and Viktor Kožený, who always struck me as super-suspect. Anyway, this guy reminds me a lot of Buddy, who like Viktor always skeeved me out.Replies: @Almost Missouri, @Recently Based, @CCZ, @DCThrowback

Sort of like fake cattle futures.
I honestly think that a lot of these black-boy-rapes-white-girl situations are simply a cultural mismatch. Communication works differently between the two cultures. Vd. Kochman’s classic study “Black and White Styles in Conflict.” I think this also explains some of the puzzling ways that blacks interact with the cops. Also, the helpless deer-in-the-headlights way that middle class whites women react to hostile black “diversity” trainers.
Emily Yoffe blew the lid off of the little-publicized fact that most university Title 9 cases involve white girls and black guys, in the Atlantic five years ago. No doesn’t mean no to black guys, and white girls don’t have the Rosetta Stone to help them say no to black guys.Replies: @Altai, @Ralph L, @JR Ewing, @Anon, @AnotherDad, @Carol
I figured that’s why Jon Krakauer had to come all the way to Missoula Montana to write his college tape book – to be assured of all white perps.

All your advice is sound enough, and probably would eliminate nine out of ten sexual assaults, but...
it would also eliminate nine out of ten sexual assaults if black men were just never allowed to be alone with non-black women.

“…it’d [racial segregation would]also help to cut down on quadroons and mulattoes, but that would be just a bonus.”
With all due respect, I think cutting down on quadroons and mulattoes would be a major plus, not just a bonus.
First, they are often the most spiteful and anti-white of those with noticeable black blood. Second, their lighter skin and less Negroid features lulls those stupid nice white ladies into embracing them, literally and figuratively, and badgering the rest of us to follow suit. After all, they look like us (compared to coal black Brock Peters types).
No mulattoes, no Obama as POTUS, no Markle as the Duchess of L A, etc. A better world.
The mistake here--driven by the destruction of the old sexual code plus minoritarianism pushing "racism!" as the great sin--is that young white women allow any interaction with a black man to take place.
No man who is not her intended should be in her room--or her in his--to start with. But beyond that, a white women should not be socializing with, chatting up, partying with black men. They are not appropriate marriage partners for her. And she is just a chance to fuck a white girl for him.Replies: @Anon
This is explained in the Wayback Machine archive of the original local newspaper article that the guy had suppressed. I linked to it in the above comment that includes the picture of the daughter and the mother. The explanation does not reflect well on her. The guy asked for a ride home, and talked this way into having her drive to her own dorm, then she decides that he can spend the night and prepares a mattress on the floor for him to sleep on, but then he raped her three times, according to the article. I honestly don’t have a lot of sympathy for her.
Not that much unless you have a really good case.
Regarding the issue at hand I am not aware of any rule that the copyright on a newspaper article expires after a short period of time. There is something called fair use which allows limited quotations but I don't think you are allowed to entirely reproduce even 20 year old copyrighted newspaper articles.Replies: @HammerJack
As someone who has quoted his fair share of newspaper articles right here, I’d love to know the actual facts of the matter.
I always assume I can skate with fair use, or simply because this forum is somewhat obscure, but I also try not to underestimate our enemies.
I also try to use the MORE tag as appropriate.
The scope of what qualifies as fair use is unclear and may depend on which side the judge (or jury) finds more sympathetic. For an example of what can happen see the wikipedia article on Righthaven:
"Righthaven initially entered agreements concerning old news articles from Stephens Media, publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, based on a business model of suing bloggers, other Internet authors, and Internet site operators for statutory damages for having reproduced the articles on their sites without permission.[9] An affiliate of Stephens Media owned half of Righthaven.[10] By March 24, 2011, 255 cases had been filed.[11][12] Typically, Righthaven has demanded $75,000 and surrender of the domain name from each alleged infringer, but accepted out of court settlements of several thousand dollars per defendant.[13] As of December 2010 approximately 70 cases had settled."
but Righthaven eventually went bankrupt after some defendants fought back effectively.

Interesting that the Wikipedia page also lists other bad behavior by Ofori:
The “deletion page” at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Curtis_N._Ofori states
The tone of the discussion suggests that the page will eventually be deleted.

I will steal this from you then.

Kinda fits the profile of paid editing. He had an earlier paid gig from WMF. Reminds me of the gal who was big into girls in tech articles and did some paid editing and got booted for it.
However the more interesting one will be the Wikipedia article for The Hook. This is a bit harder to take down because it's been up for years and probably has implicit notability as a newspaper.
If Ofori is keen on protecting his online reputation he'll probably go for this article, and there are people who will do that editing for you for a fee. Anyway the attack seems to have started:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Hook_(newspaper)Replies: @Brit, @Nicholas Stix
The pretend encyclopedia has no “long-established policies.” Thus, there’s no way for you to call such censorship “correct.”
I’m sure you’re right. People at the pretend encyclopedia are lying on behalf of Ofori, asserting that only the one rape accusation supports “notability” when, as you pointed out, several other items (including a second rape accusation) do.

The Hook article, by a Courteney Stuart, is terrible: 1. Stuart completely takes the side of the accuser, and 2. she wrote the “thing,” in order to celebrate Obama Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali’s illegal, unconstitutional, 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter, which demanded that colleges railroad men accused by coeds of rape.
Well, let’s be perfectly frank, she probably didn’t fight the second “rape” to hard, and downright encouraged the third with a set of knee pads after making a pot of coffee…
