The excuse that they are whipping out for this is that it’s relevant to the issue of damages.
Tyler Kingkade at the Huffington Post reports that Virginia Wesleyan College, in an effort to fight a lawsuit from a woman claiming the school’s negligence was a contributing factor in her sexual assault, is asking for the woman to list her sexual partners before and after the assault.
The private liberal arts school in Norfolk, Virginia, specifically wants to speak with the first sexual partner Doe had following her alleged assault, court filings say. This individual, the college insists, could provide “details of the sexual encounter” and help determine Doe’s credibility about trauma she claimed to have endured after being raped.
The college also wants to know the names of her partners to verify whether she told the truth when she said she was a virgin at the time of the assault.
