Our client, a student at a graduate school, became the subject of a Title IX investigation following allegations of engaging in sexual relations without consent. The allegations placed our client’s academic standing, professional future, and reputation at risk. Throughout the process, our client maintained that while the parties had engaged in kissing and making out, they had not engaged in sexual intercourse.
Our defense team guided our client through the Title IX process, helping him understand his rights and responsibilities while preparing him to respond to the allegations. We advocated for our client’s position and worked to ensure that the distinction between the conduct that occurred and the more serious allegations being made against him was clearly presented during the investigation.
Our client was ultimately found not in violation of Title IX. Through careful advocacy and presentation of the facts, we helped our client successfully defend against the allegations and avoid an adverse Title IX finding.
