There’s something especially disturbing about reading this case backward.

Because by the time everyone started explaining who was responsible for what, a young woman had already been r***d.

In 2022, a UW freshman attended a Pi Kappa Phi fraternity gathering.

According to her lawsuit, fraternity member Wyatt Ohara supplied alcohol until she could barely stand or speak, then r***d her while she was unconscious.

In 2024, he pleaded guilty to third-degree r**e.

His sentence?

NINE MONTHS IN JAIL.

Nine months.

She gets to carry what happened long after his sentence ends.

And now she’s suing the university.

Here’s where the questions get uglier.

In 2020, BEFORE Ohara enrolled at UW, another woman obtained a temporary sexual-assault protection order against him.

The petition was later dismissed.

UW says it knew of no ACTIVE order when he enrolled.

Fine. A dismissed petition doesn’t prove guilt.

BUT DID ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE EARLIER ALLEGATIONS?

Because that’s a different f*cking question.

UW says it investigated the r**e and permanently barred Ohara.

Afterward.

The fraternity says it terminated his associate membership after learning of the allegation.

And UW points out that fraternities make their own membership decisions.

AH, THERE IT IS. THE INDEPENDENCE DEFENSE.

Funny how clearly everyone can explain the limits of their authority once attorneys get involved.

But who was responsible for assessing risks BEFORE a student was assaulted?

UW denies negligence. No court has found it responsible, and there’s no established evidence that administrators knew of those earlier allegations.

That’s precisely what the civil case must examine.

WHO KNEW WHAT? WHEN? AND DID ANYONE HAVE A DUTY TO ACT?

Because a fraternity membership policy isn’t a safety plan.

And a permanent ban issued after a r**e doesn’t undo the r**e.

One man pleaded guilty. The university’s legal responsibility remains unresolved.

The survivor cannot go back to 2022.

BUT WE CAN DAMN WELL ASK WHETHER SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE SHE EVER WALKED INTO THAT HOUSE.

A major focus of my career has been working with college students who are survivors and also the friends that tried to help them.

As a result of increased awareness of violence and assault on college campuses, college administrators across the US are turning to the highly-functional safety app, “3rd-i”, to protect their students.

Inquire with your child’s school administration to see if 3rd-i can be adopted at their school, as nothing is more important than to keep your children safe.

Women’s safety deserves this much visibility, too.

Last night, we brought that message to the middle of Times Square. 💙

After 6+ years of work, over $1 million raised, and $125,000+ won in pitch competitions, 3rd-i is officially live.

It started with students sharing stories of feeling unsafe in rideshares—and a belief that “stay on the phone with me” and a dot on a map weren’t enough.

We built 3rd-i to help you stay safer and connected on the go, with live video, audio, and location sharing, plus Safety Agent monitoring and escalation to 911 through our partnership with RapidSOS.

And because someone in danger may not be able to press SOS, we created Trigger Emergency for a Friend, inspired in part by Baylie’s story. One of many features built to turn real-time context into action.

For our moms, sisters, friends—and everyone who deserves to get home safely.

More than a dot on a map. Safety in real time.

A lawsuit about an alleged gang r**e at Cornell University and a report about sexual cyberharassment reveal how campus r**e culture and online misogyny are colliding, Sophie Gilbert argues. https://theatln.tc/0y3gqNJI

In the lawsuit, a former Cornell female undergraduate alleged she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by members of the Chi Phi fraternity. (Three of the men named in the lawsuit have responded publicly via attorneys, two denying that they had any sexual contact with the plaintiff and the third denying sexual assault.) According to the complaint, one of the men texted a group chat that there was "free p***y" in the house. “Of the members of the group chat, a screenshot of a portion of which was included in the complaint, not a single one can be seen objecting to an inebriated woman being offered up for mass consumption,” Gilbert writes.

In September, “Wired” reported about the “burnerverse,” an online community where young men affiliated with different colleges use anonymous accounts to victimize women, Gilbert writes. Within 24 hours of men on the burnerverse circulating sexually explicit material of a University of Florida student on X, content about her had been viewed more than 8 million times.

“What are young women who want an education to do?” Gilbert writes. “During the ’90s and ’00s, misogynistic communities on campus were at least locally confined; now the impulses that have always existed among fraternities to degrade and exploit women can be disseminated and amplified at global scale.”

“Colleges don’t appear to be making any efforts to address online communities devoted to tormenting female students,” Gilbert writes. “X, under Elon Musk’s tenure, is almost entirely unmoderated, meaning videos and images of incapacitated girls being sexually exploited can go viral in minutes.”

Women who are subjected to sexual violence “have marked decreases in academic performance. Some drop out of college altogether,” Gilbert continues at the link. “If the explicit goal of tech companies and universities were to discourage women from going to college by creating a hostile environment for female students, I’d be hard-pressed to imagine what they could do differently.”
