A federal judge has ordered George Mason University to reinstate a student who said he was wrongly expelled for sexual misconduct when he was actually engaged in a consensual, sadomasochistic relationship.
The student, who is identified only as John Doe in the lawsuit filed in Alexandria, was expelled in 2014. His ex-girlfriend said she was sexually assaulted, but the expelled student said administrators ignored evidence that they had been in a consensual relationship that featured bondage and sadomasochism. The student said administrators also wrongly overruled a Sexual Misconduct Board that had exonerated him.
Judge T.S. Ellis ruled in favor of the student and ordered him reinstated. But a hearing is scheduled for Friday to determine whether Mason can hold a new round of disciplinary hearings against the student.
