Former college student helps documentary combat false rape claims

Story here. Excerpt:

'Joshua Strange, of Spartanburg, SC, couldn't wait to receive a college education from Auburn University. However, his dream was cut short when he was accused of assaulting and raping a former girlfriend.
...
After a lengthy legal battle, Strange was cleared of his charges. A grand jury handed up a "no bill” for the sodomy charge and when the assault charge went to trial, the accuser did not show up.

"Josh never got to prove she was liar," says Strange's mother, Allison, "He didn't get to tell his story in court."

However, Strange was punished for the unproven crimes by being expelled from AU and he can never step foot on campus again.
...
Strange's experience comes in contrast to those being followed in a documentary, The Hunting Ground. The film follows survivors as they pursue their education while fighting for justice. Strange's story is not featured in the documentary.

"We just want people to understand there is another side to every story," explains Allison.

The Strange family has joined forces with other survivors and formed the national nonprofit group, Families Advocating for Campus Equality, or FACE. They support parents and students fighting the same battle Josh did just four years ago. '
