In Dr. Badera's book, On the Wrong Side, How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence, they referred to Allegra as Marissa.

They're both pseudonyms, but because we have a Marissa already this season, we're referring to her as Allegra.

So if you do read the book and you're wondering who Allegra is in the book, she's Marissa.

This is from Chapter 4, Victim and Villain, and it's page 81 in my copy of the book is where this excerpt comes from.

It says,

Nearly every administrator I had countered had something to say about her, and nearly all of it was negative.

They met her when she filed a report about her own sexual assault, but they now knew her as the most vocal advocate for survivors on campus and a persistent thorn in their sides.

When they described her, they told the surprisingly consistent story of an attention-seeking girl who used rape allegations as a networking tool.

An investigator called her annoying.

The Title IX coordinator saw her as out of touch.

Even the lead victim advocate tried to discredit her work, insisting she was controlling, manipulative, and selfish speaking for herself and hurting others.

Everyone assumed I had met her and wanted to ensure I, quote, knew the full story, end quote, before I gave her too much credibility.
