LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — A former student at the University of Kentucky filed a federal lawsuit after a grand jury dismissed criminal charges against her two alleged rapists.
According to a complaint filed in civil court on Feb. 13, attorneys for the alleged rape victim, named Jane Doe, claimed UK failed to enforce safety regulations set forth by Title IX by failing to protect students after “repeated incidents of sexual assault and rape” throughout campus dorms.
