LAWSUIT: Cornell refused to investigate female student’s alleged rape of fraternity member

She punched him in the groin so hard he sought ‘medical evaluation’

After telling the woman to stop her “dominating behavior,” the woman said,”no,” the document stated. The man claims that after seeing no other option, he decided to physically remove the woman off himself.

She punched him so hard in the testicles he was in pain “for weeks” and sought “medical evaluation:
