Two students who each filed a sexual assault claim against the other based on the same sexual encounter were treated very differently by their college, leading to a harsh rebuke from a judge appointed by President Bill Clinton.
The students, referred to as John Doe and Jane Roe in court documents, were both students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. John was a senior when he matched with Jane on the dating app Tinder. The two messaged during the Fall 2019 semester and winter break before meeting in person during the Spring 2020 semester and having consensual sex multiple times.
