Maryland Lawyer Stuart Plotnick Represents Virginia Wesleyan Lacrosse Sexual Assault Victim

    ROCKVILLE, MD, October 13, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Law Office of Stuart L. Plotnick has been retained to represent the victim of the recent Wesleyan Lacrosse Rape case. Mr. Plotnick is part of a co-counsel of lawyers representing the victim - who is going by the name of "Jane Doe" to protect her privacy.

The ten million dollar lawsuit alleges that a Virginia Wesleyan lacrosse player raped Doe in 2012. The lawsuit also accuses the college of finding the student responsible for rape, expelling him, then changing their decision and allowing him to "voluntarily withdraw" to assist him in getting into a new school. In an interview with The Huffington Post, Doe said in a letter from the school it said: 'We looked it over and we want to ensure he can still get a good education and be able to play athletics.'

"It's a shame we had to bring this horrific event to light," said Maryland lawyer Stuart Plotnick. "But Virginia Wesleyan and so many other schools have simply chosen to stick their proverbial heads in the sand when it comes to sexual assault and other crimes on their campuses."

According to the lawsuit, Doe believes she was drugged at a party - which she attended with a peer advisor, then later raped in the lacrosse player's room. Doe endured physical and emotional abuse following the attack, including students yelling at her on-campus; she has since dropped out of school and undergone psychiatric treatment and counseling.
