But she was like, well, what am I going to do?

She got a different device and took a picture of the screen of the device where her messages were on so that he did not know that screenshots were taken.

And so those were some of the pieces of evidence that I submitted in my retaliation claim.

One of the pieces of evidence that he submitted was from current members of the legacy fraternity that he was trying to get into, but was then barred from entering.

They got together and they wrote, I refer to it as the whore letter.

It was essentially a whole letter of them defaming my character and my integrity in every possible way, saying what a slut and whore I was on Greek Row, that I'd slept with or hooked up with all these guys, that I was not a credible source.

I never got to read it, but that was the summarization that I received from the Title IX investigator.

They let me know that it had happened, that it was submitted, but they wouldn't be keeping it as actual evidence, which like throw me a bone.

But I felt that even the fact that it had been submitted and that they had read it, I was concerned that that had already clouded their perception of me.

Yes, I do think it's fair.

This region of the country that Western University is in has a high population of members of the LDS church, which I think really does contribute to inherent patriarchy and bias towards men and a hard wall to come up against or high moral scrutiny for women.

Women should be moral, they should be chaste, and their highest calling in life is to have many children and be a good wife.

The perception of Justin is that he was this nice guy, athletic, handsome guy.

He wouldn't need to rape anyone to get some action because he was traditionally handsome and attractive and in shape.

And so just adding this layer and weaponizing the patriarchy and the societal pressure for women that already existed is not lost on me.

The retaliation piece took so long because I kept on telling the Title IX office he is violating the no contact agreement.

And they just wouldn't really do anything about that.

Because at Western University, the Title IX office initiates the paperwork for a lot of things.

They drafted up and made us both sign the no contact agreement.

But if I have a problem with the no contact agreement being breached, I had to go to the Office of the Dean of Students.
