A male student at California State University-Fresno was expelled after his school investigated the claims of two women who said he sexually assaulted them. Based on available evidence, a judge has called for the school to overturn its decision.

John Doe, as he is referred to in court documents, was accused on April 16, 2016 of drugging women and sleeping with them at parties. Court documents don’t support that he did this. The accusation came from someone referred to only as “Witness C.” Following this person’s complaint, two women — listed as Jane Roe 1 and Jane Roe 2 (Jane 1 and Jane 2 hereafter) — moved forward with the CSUF complaint process, accusing John of sexual assault. Jane 1 claimed to have been sexually assaulted in July 2015 and Jane 2 claimed her assault happened in April 2016.
