Miranda

The summer in between my freshman and sophomore year is when I really started to notice he is really focusing on Miranda.

I was one of the only people that she disclosed about this relationship to when it started.

At the time Morgan and I are in a play together, she had disclosed to me an experience she had where Kato had sexually harassed her on an away trip where alcohol was involved.

The publication that released that, the last words were from UCO.

They didn't reach out to any of us.

By my last semester in school, the veil had been completely lifted and I had no interest in seeing him at all once I had graduated.

I then decided that I wanted to file a Title IX complaint against him.

Within a month, my life was the same.

His life was, as far as I know, pretty much the same.

Nothing changed.

Emily, who was Olivia's professor advocate at UCO, Emily's distant cousin, Sheila, took on our case.

We had a few Zoom meetings with Sheila about the process of Title IX and the implications of our suit.

They submitted the complaint in May of 2021.

After we filed, the university pretty quickly, after the fact, filed a motion to dismiss, which she had anticipated.

Sheila and her team, this was in 2021, in October, had submitted a motion to strike the dismissal.

And that was as far as the case went.

I'll just read what our lawyer sent to us.

May of 2022, she said...

As you know, we have been in a holding pattern for months because of the court's rules against proceeding with discovery while a motion to dismiss is pending.

I've been watching with interest, as you know I have, the protests and escalating outcry from UCO students.
