SHE BEGGED HIM FOR SEX, HE SAYS HE REFUSED: NOW HE’S SUING COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

It’s a male student’s worst nightmare. No matter the proof, he’s not believed, but she is.

Lawyers for Ben Feibelman, a former journalism graduate student at Columbia University, are advising him not to discuss his pending lawsuit against the school after a woman accused him of sexual assault in 2016. Her name is being kept tightly under wraps and has not been reported by the media.

In what is being hailed as the “anti-male” lawsuit, Feibleman is suing the school for expulsion and gender bias. Lawyers filed the suit against Columbia Monday in Manhattan Federal Court.

Also under wraps is the complaint. A judge has temporarily sealed it pending possible redactions. The woman’s counsel filed a motion to redact the complaint “based on the ground that [it] contains the name of the alleged sexual assault victim, photographs and other personal information.”

Motions are due by May 24. Responses are due by June 4.

Oddly, Feibleman is pictured in the New York Post with a big smile in a cap and gown. Columbia allowed him to go through the motions of graduation, but the school expelled him and is withholding his degree.

“My senior associate, James [Figliozzi], advises that you called to discuss Mr. Feibleman’s case,” attorney Kimberly Lau wrote The Mirror late Wednesday night. “Due to the pending litigation, I’ve advised my client not to discuss his case because all details are included in the complaint.”
