MATT ROLPH WAS BRANDED A RAPIST, EXPELLED FROM HIS COLLEGE, AND FORCED TO SPEND $$$ TO RESTORE HIS GOOD NAME.

In 2014 Matt Rolph, above, was accused of sexually assaulting his long-term girlfriend, “Jane Roe.” His case went to court, and the jury cleared him of all charges.

Even though the jury found Matt innocent, Hobart College in Geneva, NY decided to make an example of him. So Hobart hired an investigator who…
1. Did not record any of the interviews.
2. Failed to review innocence-proving text messages sent by Jane.
3. Failed to get records supporting Jane’s claim of medical problems caused by the incident.
4. Did not resolve inconsistencies among witness statements.

No surprise, based on the investigator’s biased report, the school expelled Matt. He later described it as “One of the worst days of my life.”

So he filed a lawsuit against the College. Several months later, Judge Elizabeth Wolford ruled in favor Matt Rolph’s claims of investigative bias.

ISN’T OUR LEGAL SYSTEM BASED ON THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE?

Investigators are supposed to conduct investigations that are objective, neutral, and honest. But now, investigators are being told to “Start By Believing” the accuser and use “victim-centered” methods.

“Start By Believing” tells investigators to investigate cases from an “initial presumption” of guilt, to slant their report to “corroborate the victim’s account,” and to even make sure the sexual encounter does “not look like a consensual sexual experience.” (3)

Matt Rolph is just one of the many thousands of Americans who have been victimized by “victim-centered” investigations. Amazingly, the U.S. Department of Justice has spent millions of taxpayer dollars to support “Start By Believing programs” around the country.
