Why Now
The plaintiff’s health is an ongoing concern as a result of injuries stemming from this case. The defendants and their counsel have until now largely benefited from the plaintiff’s weakened state, which impacts her performance in this case. The plaintiff is now taking several steps to protect her ongoing interest in the case, including seeking representation willing to pursue a wrongful death action against New York Law School, Anthony Crowell, Deborah Archer, Barbara Graves-Poller, David Schoenbrod, Ella Mae Estrada, Jeffery Becherer, Howard Meyers, Erika Wood, Victoria Eastus, and Oral Hope if plaintiff does not survive. 

This is a plaintiff who has previously sought aid from and reported her injuries to the
  • White House
  • Mayor de Blasio
  • New York Law School (the site where plaintiff was harmed)
  • The Board of Education's Office of Civil Rights
  • The Police Department 
  • The Manhattan DA's Office
  • The U.S. Attorney General's Office 
  • The Legal Grievance Committee (oversees lawyers' conduct)
  • The American Bar Association
  • Various attorneys 
  • The Southern District of New York's Pro Bono program 
  • Time's Up initiative's legal program (operated by the National Women's Law Center)

The plaintiff is a U.S. born military veteran, women of color, marathon runner, and dancer, who has never been in trouble with the law, but who is being treated less-than deserving of justice in order to grant unwarranted immunity to the defendants being sued--a law school and several attorneys and lawyers, and persons intricately involved in the wrong doing cited in her case.

The man who attacked her, Stephen Nesbit, and a male student (Jason Singer) who received favorable treatment worth thousands of dollars directly from Anthony Crowell (law school Dean), harmfully inserted himself and interfered in the investigation of the case at the law school. Both also must be held accountable for their acts.

As a country, we cannot afford to allow our moral values to be bought or influenced by status or any other figure of power. We cannot allow our outrage to be silenced or to mistakenly believe that a wrong committed against one woman will not have ripples.
