John Jay College investigation

If I were JB, I would avoid the instinct to add "more to come." That leads to the Streisand Effect -- where the denial brings more attention to the false accusation than the original false accusation did. It might be the righteous thing to do, but it always always backfires and just plays into the hands of the troll.
I wonder if the accusation is false. I heard Borchert knows one of the complainants and threatened her on numerous occasions. Curtis rewarded Borchert for harassing one of his accusers with a new job at NDA. I want to know if that’s part of the “more to come” gossip.

You all, from a position no where near any investigations that border on what is happening here would be better off bringing your armchair quarterbacking to the playoffs. All the second guessing and play by play, please. A facebook chat that was manipulated and presented as incomplete by an accuser is hardly a threat - by the way, that chat was about the meaning of an allegation such as this upon a young, first gen, student of color "if" that allegation were false, and how a false allegation by somebody who is versed in the racial politics of mass incarceration, would be even more obscene. Let's see, a manipulated facebook chat registered as possible retaliation, last summer, but still no determination? Accusations of sexual misconduct, trafficking, and a robust drug market led by professors at John Jay, coming up on a year ago, and not even a charge brought, even after vigorous investigation, while the NEW president of John Jay a Former Asst. Atty General who is not responsible for anything before her tenure, and yet no movement. NONE. If she was rooting something out, thee is no better time than in the beginning when she has no skin in the game. Instead, there is a ham-handed investigation of a set of claims, far too many to be real, which was determined early on, which will produce nothing at the level of the allegations. why do you think the New York papers have stopped reporting on this? Do you actually believe that they would just leave students stranded if the investigation yielded confirmation of their claims? Get a clue. Now, they are just trying to figure out how much they are going to have to pay the accused, how they are going to handle identifying the allegations as false (because they are serious and many people will never believe they are false), and how they are going to discredit in some other way the accused to minimize their liability. And Karol Mason, has to worry about how soon she will be out of a job for handling this whole thing terribly. I'll leave it at this: there are few things worse than somebody taking advantage of MILLIONS of WOMEN'S pain to mount a false allegation for one's one personal enrichment and revenge. Disgusting.
