A federal judge in Atlanta has granted the request of an Atlanta women’s group to intervene in a federal lawsuit filed by a former student at the Georgia Institute of Technology who was expelled after he was accused of rape.
Lisa Anderson, executive director of Atlanta Women for Equality and a lawyer, said her organization asked U.S. District Judge Steve Jones to intervene in the litigation in order to protect the identity of the woman—whom she identified by the pseudonym Jane Roe—who first reported the rape allegations to Georgia Tech authorities and named the plaintiff as the alleged perpetrator. The expelled student was given judicial permission to file his suit anonymously, claiming that he had not committed the sexual assault of which he had been accused and had been expelled unjustly.
