Settlement reached in claim Liberty University hid rapes, punished victims

by Cynthia Beasley Wednesday, May 11th 2022

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — After a year in national headlines for allegations of covering up rape, punishing victims, and using the "Liberty Way" to silence accusers, a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit against Liberty University.

All but two of the 22 women — known as the Jane Does — settled their lawsuit against Liberty. ... "The case is now settled," said Jack Larkin, the attorney for the accusers.

The lawsuit claimed Liberty violated federal laws for failing to properly investigate their reports of assaults or rape.

Since the lawsuit was first filed, Liberty's president announced the university would spend more than $8 million to increase campus security.

Fuck Liberty.

My daughter could go there for free. I and my wife’s family are NO WAY. Long family history with Jerry and his kind.
