IN FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND LAWSUIT, STUDENT ATHLETE WRONGFULLY ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT SUES OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND CSU PUEBLO FOR VIOLATING TITLE IX GENDER DISCRIMINATION LAW

PUEBLO, CO— Grant Neal, a prominent student athlete at Colorado State University Pueblo (CSU Pueblo), has filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against the Obama Administration’s Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and CSU Pueblo for violation of Title IX in a wrongful sexual assault investigation. Neal is being represented by Andrew T. Miltenberg, one of the nation’s preeminent attorneys specializing in campus assault due process.

The complaint states that in October of 2015, Grant Neal, a talented football player with a 3.67 GPA, was wrongfully accused of non-consensual sexual contact and suspended from school following a rejected appeal. His accuser is not the alleged victim, but a friend of the alleged victim who presented a second-hand account of an incident between two consenting adults to the athletic training director, who then presented this account to the Title IX director at CSU Pueblo. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff contends that CSU’s wrongful investigation was caused by a directive of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which encourages male gender bias and violation of due process rights during sexual misconduct investigations.'
