According to a lawsuit filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia, a former student at the Virginia-based Liberty University claimed that the evangelical college failed to investigate her sexual assault allegation properly.
The case involves a student, identified as Jane Doe, who claimed she was raped by fellow student Jordan Digges on April 27, 2021, at The Oasis, an off-campus student housing complex. According to the lawsuit, the incident occurred after a party at the housing complex’s pool and courtyard.
As reported by The Christian Post , “excessive and underage drinking” allegedly took place at the party for hours “unabated and unmonitored.”
Digges was accused of being intoxicated and following Doe into her room, where he allegedly strangled and raped her. Hours later, Doe went to a local hospital, where she received a forensic examination. She also filed a police report with a Campbell County Sheriff’s Department deputy.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
