How are we to know this really happened? They can't even identify the alleged perpetrator of the alleged crime. I mean the kid was mentally unstable.
If this did happen and the kid complained about it then yes, he is due some damages as this was a terrible situation. The University settled with the man because to get this behind them.
"UW officials said the claim was difficult to defend because so much time has elapsed that memories have faded and records are incomplete. Neither side had been able to fully identify or locate the alleged perpetrator or some of the other key players.
"It's very difficult to prove events and it's difficult to find people," said Kelly Williams, the UW's liability-claims manager. "If true, then this patient was a minor under our care. Those are reasons to resolve the case and get it behind everybody."
