“To be fairly clear, Schulman’s account of the occasions of that night time is as suspect as all his different endeavors. I attended the dance he mentions and noticed that he was taking footage of queer {couples} dancing and kissing with out their permission. I talked to the Scholar Affairs liaison on the occasion, who I knew from my work examine job, however nothing was executed about it. I confronted him, and requested him to cease taking footage. I didn’t deal with him, and I actually didn’t choke him together with his digicam strap. I tapped his shoulder, and he turned and hit me out of nowhere, I went down and he held me in a head lock and repeatedly punched me whereas I attempted to get free. The impression broke my glasses, and the remainder of the night time was a blur. I acquired off the ground, talked to police, then went house to sleep. Once I wakened the following day, my face was bruised, I used to be damage, and a good friend urged me to go to the hospital, which I did.
From the hospital, I used to be directed to authorized companies and acquired authorized recommendation. I used to be suggested to not press fees as a result of it will be a troublesome case to win, as I didn’t have any damaged bones, and it will be his phrase in opposition to mine. I additionally felt intimidated as a result of his lawyer had been ready for me within the parking zone after my authorized assembly. I didn’t discuss to him, however it was clear that Nev’s household had the means to tug me by a prolonged court docket case. As an LBGT monetary help scholar, I didn’t assume the possibility of getting justice seemed good.”
