Article here. Excerpt:

'The family of Paul Nungesser, the student who was accused of rape by mattress-toting Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz, have released a statement about their son's graduation, calling their experience with the university "deeply humiliating."

"Our son's graduation should have been a joyous moment for our whole family. We are extremely proud of Paul for graduating, even more so because of the harassment campaign he was subjected to. For over two years, he had to fight false accusations and a public witch-hunt, even though Columbia and the NYPD exonerated him," Karin Nungesser and Andreas Probosch wrote in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner.

Nungesser's parents blasted Columbia for continuing to allow Sulkowicz to harass their son, as evidenced by her graduation stunt of carrying the mattress across stage and displaying drawings of their son at a public art exhibit the week before.'

I cant believe mattress girl was allowed to carry her mattress at the graduation ceremony. Talk about special treatment. It should have never been allowed on campus either. I am sure it probably violated fired codes and inconvenienced others by blocking stairwells and taking up too much space.

At this point I am just hoping he wins his lawsuit and maybe this will provide more evidence for his case.
