St. Thomas student faces long suspension but no charges in sexual encounter

A University of St. Thomas student was not charged in a sexual encounter with a fellow freshman in her dorm room, but the private Catholic school, after its own investigation, suspended him for more than a year.

Now the student is suing.

The suit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, alleges that the male student was subjected to "a rigged and unfair disciplinary process put in place to reach a predetermined result … in violation of both state and federal law."
