Dr. Badera writes, End quote.

While Western University staff treated Allegra like an unusually difficult victim, the only atypical thing about her case was her unwillingness to quietly accept its outcome.

The challenges Allegra faced were common to most survivors, as were the advantages given to perpetrators like Justin.

The Title IX process is designed to ensure perpetrators and men specifically remain on campus regardless of the threat they pose to other students.

It was wild reading about her interview and what she gathered from Justin in his interview.

Before he had even learned of the Title IX investigation, he had texted at least 50 people that weekend of the assault, including your friends and former roommates, probing for negative stories about you,

and weaving into them his narrative about how she was, quote, psycho, a word he used over 30 times in our 100-minute interview with Dr. Padera.

His advocate that worked with him, whom Dr. Badera referred to as Natalie, presented herself as somebody who was about consent and feminism.

But it really seems like she enabled Justin throughout this process.

Justin is the perpetrator that Dr. Badera said seemed to enjoy the hearing process and hearing you cross-examined.

Yes.

He also claimed in his interview with her that the allegations had ruined his life.

But then he also talks about enjoying the process and that it was something that he even brought up right away with women now when he's dating.

What did you learn about the handling through the university through reading Dr. Badera's book that you didn't know about before?

Did you make contact with Dr. Badera after you read the book?

Yes.

Do you recall what that conversation was like or what your main emotional takeaways were from this becoming public?

Could you explain to listeners a bit about how you and I became connected and what made you decide to speak out on the podcast?

And I imagine it had to be kind of ironic given that you listened to the show and then to hear this coming on, it's like worlds colliding, so to speak.

Thank you.
