The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled this summer that the former Yale student acquitted of rape in 2018 can sue his accuser for defamation.

‘Suspended’ coroner left man’s body in hot SUV overnight, causing staff, visitors to vomit from ‘putrid’ smell: suit

The court also said the Yale hearing couldn’t be considered quasi-judicial because they didn’t make the woman testify under oath and they didn’t provide Khan’s side with a transcript of the testimony.
