A female student at the University of Michigan who accused a male student of sexual assault backed out of her claims after a judge ruled the accused student would be allowed to cross-examine his accuser.

The College Fix reported that the development came after the judge ordered UM to provide the accused student, referred to in court documents as John Doe, a “live hearing” and the ability to cross-examine his accuser, referred to as “Claimant” (The Daily Wire will refer to her as Jane Roe). UM appealed the ruling to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but the accused student’s attorney, Deborah Gordon, filed a motion on Monday saying the appeal was moot because UM dropped the Title IX charges against her client.
