Former Yale basketball captain sues school over expulsion
(AP) — Former Yale basketball captain Jack Montague filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing the Ivy League university of wrongfully expelling him over a sexual assault allegation.
The lawsuit argues that the university used the case against Montague, a popular and well-liked athlete, as an opportunity to show it was tough on sexual misconduct following a survey on sexual assault by the Association of American Universities.
"[...] imposing harsh discipline on Montague would surely make an impact," the lawsuit says.
According to the lawsuit, the woman said in her account to a fact-finder that she told Montague she did not want to have intercourse but he looked as if he did not hear what she said.
