This describes only a tiny part of my journey through memory, handwritten records, confessions, denials and a series of events that changed the law on campus rape. By the end, I learned that no part of the Syracuse criminal justice system back then could be depended on.

Just FYI the link to the story is so deep that Bluesky isn't showing it by default. Had to 'load more comments' 3-4 times to find this.

Whenever you see the link buried like that, it's usually b/c the author is cross-posting the same post to Meta, Twitter, et al xcancel.com/jbsapien/sta... The algorithms at most social sites down-rank posts with links, so authors will put story links down in the replies to increase promotion

it's almost like america has a raping (not just sexual) culture unchecked. grab grab grab anything you can form the vulnerable...

Just read this. Well done! this is just incredibly sad and infuriating.

Just finished reading. Very well written! Thank you for your detailed work! FYI, the way the university behaved reminds me of incidents that happened at Yale back in the 90s. 😮‍💨

From this to Wakefield being protected for over a decade to COVID mismanagement, it's all driven by systems-level failure. The stories are about individuals, but the causes are structural. Corrupted systems working as intended to protect institutions and the well-connected, not the rest of us.

The fact the UK COVID Inquiry does not appear to have been aware of the SARS Commission illustrates the underlying problem. The Inquiry's findings of "widespread failure" could have been taken directly from that 2006 report. Institutional medicine simply does not admit or learn from its mistakes.

Oh hell yes ! I am reading your story !

What a powerful piece -- and a story well worth revisiting. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this story and for sticking with it. Shame on the university and the police who don’t deserve any trust until they can prove they’ve changed and are committed to serving the public honestly…no excuses for past bad decisions.

Sad that this happened. Unforgivable. Thank you for this in-depth reporting.

Thank you for your hard work. What a heartbreaking story for all involved. Lorenz. What a vile human. I hope Mr. Broadwater is able to find joy in his life.

It's an excellent piece of journalism. And it's important.

Damn, what a heartbreaking story. Thanks for posting... and your efforts.

I am a paid supporter of propublica, a survivor, a reader of Seybold’s work, an admirer of how her writing skills played into supporting her effort for accountability, and surprised at the turn of events acknowledging her errors. The police role and *the university role* in the miscarriage of

Justice, both for Seybold and Broadwater, point more to bad process and also unequal desire for truth from many sides. Not a victim but a dorm resident where a sexual assault took place in NC, at the hands of a football recruit, we all knew the details of the role of the athletic department in

Glossing over the very real daytime assault in a private shower. This was not a messy date or consensual case. This was assault. The survivor, like Seybold, was very vocal and confident. Still, nothing came of it. The powers that be swept it under the rug. Lessons learned.

Incredible work/journalism and love the audio version so I could listen to it while at work.

If only Dateline and 2020 could report like this, instead of taking hours to drag us through lurid pictures, what could be told in 10 minutes because it's so shallow
