Acquitted former student sues 15 groups for defamation after they called him a rapist

Article here. Excerpt:

'A former Yale University student who defeated claims of rape is continuing his legal battle to seek justice.

Saifullah Khan is suing fifteen organizations including the National Women’s Law Center, the Fierberg National Law Group, and the National Crime Victim Law Institute, along with attorney Jennifer Becker, for “defamation, false light, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and abuse of process action.”

Khan (pictured) is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages. It is pending and the accused groups have requested extensions to file responses, according to a College Fix review of court documents on Aug. 1.

The lawsuit follows an amicus brief the organizations filed with the Connecticut Supreme Court surrounding whether Khan could sue his accuser for damages.

The initial brief called Khan a “rapist,” and said he had committed rape – however, he already had been cleared by a jury of the charges. Despite this, Yale expelled Khan.'
