Case Results

Our client, a student at the University of California, became the subject of a Title IX investigation following allegations that he provided a fellow student with THC gummies and engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with her. The parties had previously engaged in consensual sexual activity without drugs being involved; however, the complainant alleged that the presence and use of THC affected her ability to consent during the encounter. The allegations placed our client’s academic standing, reputation, and future at the University at risk.

We worked to provide the University with relevant context surrounding the parties’ prior consensual relationship and the circumstances of the incident.
