It seems that Liberty U has become a hot bed for sexual deviants….first it was the sexual exploits of the founder’s son a school president, Falwell….then the school hires the sexual predator coach from Ole Miss…..from the professor who abduct a student to the rapes on campus…..and now more sexual exploits in the school…..
A professor at the conservative Christian Liberty University in Virginia has been accused of abduction and sexual battery of a student. William Atwell, an associate professor of American Sign Language, was arrested on Nov. 20 in connection with an accusation of sexual battery on Sept. 15 and abduction on Nov. 19. A spokesperson for the school said in a statement that Atwell has been suspended and the school is taking the matter seriously. Inappropriate sexual contact with a student is “something for which there is zero tolerance,” the spokesperson said, per NBC News.
The student reported the incidents to the school, which turned it over to the police. Liberty has been under fire in the past for how it handles accusations of sexual assault at the school. Twelve women are suing the school, CNN reports. The women, former students and staff plus one minor who was not a student, filed a complaint in federal court saying the school created a hostile environment and punished people who reported misconduct. Scott Lamb, senior vice president of communications and public engagement until Liberty fired him in October, has filed a lawsuit with similar charges, too, the News & Advance reports. Scott says he was fired in retaliation for coming forward, and the school has pushed back hard against the allegations.
Is this where right wing pervs go for an education?
A terrible record for a supposedly religious university….but then I never trusted a group that teaches junk science as fact.
A pack of hypocrites charged with of children’s future….
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I guess the ‘liberty’ at that university is for professors to have their way with the co-edes.
Looks like it….and they hire known abusers like the ex coach of U of Mississippi chuq
Organised religion and sexual molestation have gone hand in hand since the beginnings of human society. Nothing changes.
Best wishes, Pete.
Organized religion is a cancer on society….done more harm than good like this college…..chuq
