Why Christian College Student Says She Was Forced to Drop Out 

Considering how they shifted the blame towards her it tells me that this isn’t the first time the school has done this🤬

That’s absolutely disgusting, I wish that woman the best.

As a Christian myself this disgusts me whether she had premarital sex or not that has nothing to do with the situation or change the fact of what happened to her is wrong

Why was she expelled for “premarital sex”, but he wasn’t when he also had sex??????🤔🤔. This case is going to be easy to win for her bc there’s extreme bias and sexism on the other side and the court is going to see that.

I’d bet the person she accused has connected parents or something. This situation sounds shameful. I hope she gets justice if she deserves it & finds her peace.

Props to her for not joining the dark side by giving up her self-respect. She deserves better.

One of my friends attended a Christian institution. The pastors/ school administrators were head strong against abortion and would kick students out of the school if they ended up pregnant without being married or got an abortion. Despite those strict rules, when the main pastor's/administrator's daughter ended up pregnant (while attending the Christian university), her parents demanded that she get an abortion. She aborted the fetus or baby in secret and was NEVER removed from the school. Such hypocrites. The only reason word got out was because she was so traumatized by being pressured into getting an abortion by her Christian family that she spilled to one of her friends.

What a darn disgrace. As a Christian myself, this makes my blood boil. Why would the school do absolutely nothing other than punishing this young woman?! That school should be sued big time and shame on them for not taking care of the situation properly. May God help this young woman and her family 💔😞

Honestly props to her parents having her back. Seen too many that gaslight or even rape apologize themselves

the thing that sucks is that this "Christian" institution won't allow her credits to transfer if she even wanted to to continue her education somewhere else that is not a private school. they will permanently erase her records and will have start all her credits over. it is so ridiculous.

This woman is someone you can look up to. She’s a strong-willed fighter, who won’t take no for an answer. Her confidence is inspiring.

Call the police, go to the hospital. Do not call your Dean, or your priest or your librarian. Rape is a criminal offense. Treat it like that. Did she want him to get suspended or something. Jail... He needs to go to Jail.

1:41I can feel that man’s rage. Her daughter was violated and the college is attempting to shift blame on to her from a something that doesn’t even relate to the main issue.

As a Christian, it makes me angry how few Christians take any form of abuse seriously. I've been abused all my life. Despite my Dad pushing me over the sofa for trying to ask him a question, one Church elder said "It's six of one & half a dozen of the other"! Er no! And when I was indecently assualted by a member of his congregation, a Church pastor made out that if I reported the guy to the police, they wouldn't take me seriously! Thankfully, I'm now part of a healthy, supportive, Godly Church that takes my abuse seriously. If you call yourself a Christian or you're a Christian establishment, behave like Christians, not judgemental prudes perpetuating abuse! Jesus never appointed you to be police officers, He called you to be like Him & commanded us to show love to others. That means supporting people through things they should never have been put through in the first place. If I was in charge of another music school, I would invite that young lady to do her final somester in my school & give her the full degree she's worked so hard to achieve.

if something like this happens to you, go to the POLICE FIRST! private schools will likely NOT protect you UNLESS you have a POLICE REPORT READY. schools will try desperately to get you to do otherwise. i hope she's okay.

This is absolutely disgusting behavior for a "Christian" institution. It's horrifying that she had to go through that and my heart goes out to her. I hope nothing but the best for her

This is so crazy!!! This is why women don’t report being raped. I’m a survivor of a rape. You need support in that time after your attack you shouldn’t have to be worried about being treated like this. Sounds like nothing will be done to her attacker at that school.

What really shame is they carry the name "CHRISTIAN".And cover the evil things that happened.

Fellow Christian here! I think the school ought to be sued or reprimanded. Jesus wouldn't blame a rape victim Stop calling yourselves "children of God" when you inflict trauma upon other people and enable abusive and predatory behavior

It's sad that Mara's college isn't helping her. No one deserves to be raped. If a person dresses a certain way, it doesn't mean they deserve to be raped. No one should be raped. The college should help her out, keep her safe, pursue justice, help prevent sexual assault from occurring, etc.

I feel like we all need to start recording these phone calls. Shame on that school! Absolutely disgusting. That poor family, I can't even imagine the pain and suffering.

Why does the school want to be involved in this? Just call the police and let investigators take care of this matter.

Let me guess, this school is categorized as a "non-profit." Sue them for all they're worth, Mara. So sorry this happened. Sending love and light your way 💜

I’m a Christian and nothing about this case represents Christian values. My heart breaks for her. I cannot imagine the trauma and pain she is going through. You will be in our prayers. 🙏💕❤️

This is disgusting! I pray she receives her justice and I'll pray for her and her family. This is horrible.

This is exactly why many victims don’t even brother to report, it just feels like your swimming against a strong current

Never go to the school first. Call 911, go to the police. Being a student, or the crime being on a campus doesn't matter. It's a crime. Report it like you would anywhere else. First call: police. Second call: the school.

I am so proud of this woman for standing up for herself-and others. And her wonderful parents. The voice of experience is telling you that you can get accepted at a new school without their cooperation or recommendation, the new school can give you credits for your completed work, and you can graduate with top honors and there is not a thing your old jerk school can do to stop you. You have our prayers and best wishes for great success in overcoming this unfair treatment!!!

Christian college my ass! No self-respecting Christian institution would dare tolerate such behavior like this! I just pray that this young woman gets the justice that she deserves.

This is so so sickening.. you’re right to expose them.. stay strong young lady.. 🙏🙏🙏, that dad is the type of parent that I appreciate..keep fighting

This woman had previous problems not following school values, so when she continues to make wrong choices she comes after the school rather than taking this situation that happened to the police and making the perp to be held guilty.

This tragic story reminds us that not every college that claims to be 'Christian' really is. If this school was, they would have had the boy arrested and dealt properly with the girl.

I went to a State University. I filed a police report with the local sheriff department, never file a report with campus police, they will protect the school not YOU!

that school doesn't deserve anything else besides being shut down it is absolutely gross and not worth anyone's time, I wish the young lady best of luck

Can we get this college shut down!?!?! Who the f$&# runs a school like this? 🤬 She deserves every right to sue the attacker AND the school! Their defense is pathetic and invalid. You go girl, stand up for yourself! 😊

I live by a christian college. You can get kicked off campus just for missing one required church/biblical classes.

Why the hell is it the school’s business whether or not she had pre marital sex before her assault?! is that even legal?!How can that be legal?!

Thank you for speaking, Mara.

This makes my blood boil! I hope she is able to get the justice she deserves. That school is disgusting!

This is why you can’t trust colleges and schools, Colleges and Schools only look out for their own interests. Report it directly to the police if something like this happens, I know they aren’t perfect, but compared to the college and school system, they’re the Mona Lisa compared to them. I hope the girl can find another college that’s not that one because that college deserves to have all of their administrative board fired for this scandal. You don’t throw this under the rug and expect your college to get away from this squeaky clean.

That father has self-restraint. I can’t imagine what he feels.

I will be praying for you and your situation. I have dealt with this and know how difficult it is. Stay strong. Keep your head up and keep fighting for yourself. God Bless

Good for her for going public 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

As someone who's a Christian and has gone to Christian private schools, I've experienced hypocrisy within some of these environments. At one school, the people there didn't care about bullying, didn't care about the victims, had a principle who used to be bully so he didn't punished bullies for their action because "they're just misunderstood', some of the teachers were bullies themselves like I had a band teacher that got impatient with me and called me a "retard". And because I got ostracized by almost everyone, I kept hoping I wouldn't wake up the next day to face it. My parents transferred me into another private Christian school after realizing how bad my self esteem has went down from the previous one. This community was a lot nicer but the discipline was ridiculous, they also kept making new rules for everytime some idiot did something for example we couldn't bring water into class because some kid hid vodka in a water bottle once, you can't have any access to your phone, you have to put it in a yondr pouch. I felt a sense of sexism in that school as well because they tend to have these old school female and men conservative stereotype ideologies which made me incredibly uncomfortable. I had a hear one teacher say that if he caught his 10 year old son in a dress he would wip him. Most chapels consisted of old dudes talking about relationships and marriage and I just wanted to leave but I knew I would get in trouble if I did because chapels were treated like going to class. I've graduate out there and I'm now in a Catholic college (it's like any other college but it was founded by Catholics and they have a church in the campus) I love how diverse it is in my college when it comes to LGBT, different religions, ethnicities and cultures that come here. It makes me very happy to have that freedom of being yourself without having to hide it in order to not get trouble. We also have sexual assault response team that's recently been added to help victims. Moral of the story just because something is labeled Christian doesn't mean it truly is. Some people put on that face to look good in the public eye and then show their true colors behind closed doors. It's hypocrisy and Jesus has shown he's against it multiple times.

The school should be sued for 1. Putting a policy in place that should be illegal (premarital sex being banned) and 2. Banning her and basically victim blaming someone who was raped. Even if untrue, if they shouldn't treat any rape victim like this. Then, if it comes to light that the victim lied and it wasn't rape, then they could ban the student

Praying for this young lady, good for her for speaking up!! May justice be served 🙏🏾

I'm glad I didn't choose a Christian school. I am a male college student but this type of behavior just reminds me of how "double standards" have a lack of sense.

At this point I can’t blame people who throw shade at Christianity when this kind of story comes up everyday

I really hope she gets justice. And he's held accountable. Or this can happen again if he's not charged

The college replied”they take serious care and support to their students.” Shame on them

She reported it to the college? Why not the police???

In confession I told our priest that a younger girl was being molested by an older boy on the school bus. I was hoping he would do something about it but instead he told me I was just as guilty as him because I didn’t do anything to stop it. I never went to confession again, nor received communion.

And you have some politicians who don’t believe in separation of church and state. This is what it would be like. Also she shouldn’t have had to go through this.

How do these organizations keep being allowed to make statements that contradict their on record actions? (Allegedly)

Why would she report it to the college and not the police 🤦‍♂️

It shouldn’t even matter to them if she had a freaking child before attending this class. Her personal life is none of their business and they should’ve helped her. They call themselves a Christian establishment? What bologna.

This is messed up that school should be shut down I’m in her side that boy student should’ve got kicked out and not her I hope that she get millions of dollars from that lawsuit and the school gets shut down and every student gets a refund is the audacity that I just seen these comments of people defending him this is why girls and guys too don’t come out when they get raped Buy someone because people don’t know how to shut up leave your opinion to yourself!!!!! Pls stop saying she’s lying because you wasn’t there to tell her story you wasn’t there when she was having nightmares about it and her parents had to stay up watching her when she was kicking and screaming hitting her parents by accident because of the trauma she has and PTSD from that incident!!!!!

We as the church should hold that school accountable. That is sick!

Wow! Just wow. Horrific. We support you 💕

Glad she has her parents as her support system. ❤️ Hope everything goes well for her and her family.

what she did with her boyfriend is none of school's business.

Many colleges and universities do this. Women at University of Iowa have had to go to court to get the accused rapist moved from their dorms and classes. University authorities even deliberately chose to NOT report suspected rape to the city/county law enforcement. (It is a bad idea to have college/university own "police".)

I googled this. The only thing I found about law enforcement being involved was her statement that police investigated but she was told there wasn’t enough evidence to move forward with charges.

Law and order SVU has talked about these same issues time after time, Collage/university administrators and campus police hardly do anything when someone reports being assaulted or raped. This victim blaming, boys will be boys, and he/she wanted it culture needs to go especially in schools

Wait a Religious/Christian agency committing crimes, specifically sexual related?! NO...NEVER

I’m not going to lie, the fact this is a “Christian” school is actually disgusting, embarrassing and downright sad

Outrageous! I hope that girl gets some justice!

There's gotta be more to this story. Feels like information is being left out.

She’s so strong and powerful. I hope that school goes bankrupt.

Take is forward. All the strength to you and your family.. don't give up. Fight what's wrong .

And people wonder why victims sometimes don't tell anyone that they were sexually assaulted. This, this right here🙄

All I have to say is that.. this has nothing to do with what God values. Don’t blame God for what happened, but the Boy. The school should have looked more into the situation and Expelled the guy and got him locked up. I hope this young lady is alright and doesn’t try to use “Man’s” actions as a way to be mad at God. The world isn’t a bad place because of God.. God gave us all free will.. He loves each and everyone of us. He loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sins. This world needs to repent. Jesus loves you guys.

This is like stuff from the old days ago and not this day and age. I hope that school is flipped on its head for victim blaming, shaming. How traumatizing of a situation for that young woman. Wow

Heads up to her and her strong amazing dad! I hope they get justice ✋. Can we all please also acknowledge what an amazing voice this woman has? It was a short sequence, but I'd love to hear more of her music please👍 What a talented, strong woman. I hope she gets justice! And I hope she makes an amazing music career. I really wish that for her, not because of the news here, but only because of her beautiful voice! 👍

Stay Strong! Don't Give up, God will bless you with a Very Favorable Resolution!!!

People should avoid that university . That school is messed up

This is terrible. She deserves peace, so does the rest of the campus. It is terrible that she can't continue her school possibly if they don't release her credits.

"Reported it to her college." Why didnt she report it to the police first?!? Transfer your credits to another school. This school sounds worthless.

Father sounded like he was practicing for an audition on that phone call. Something seems fishy

This is the true face of "Pro-Life"... the 'Life' part is meant to be ironic

In the end of the day, doesn't matter if the school claims to be religious or not. It is still a business. Wish this young lady the best. This is unacceptable and disgusting. They tried to attack her for who she chose to sleep with before the incident? Excuse me?

Thank you for sharing. Keep sharing. Same thing happened to me when I was raped. I eventually received justice but the authorities made it very difficult.

I don't understand she went to school to complain, but didn't go to the police?

Here's what I think , when a report is filed nobody should be kicked off campus or forced to drop out until the court affirms whether the accusation was true or false. If it's true the perpetrator should be kicked out and be put in prison if false , the false accuser should be kicked out and put in prison I'd love to see if y'all agree with me and if you disagree tell me why

there's gotta be more to the story there's no way the school can just shake it off like that

She didn't call the cops which tells you everything you need to know.

I feel there is a lot more to the story than what we were shown in this video. I hope everything works out

Great father for shaming them! This is ridiculous.

This is just messed up

I really hope she and her parents receive justice. That school’s administration is disgusting!

This is disgusting. Sometimes I wonder if schools allow for off campus housing not just due to space constraints but to absolve themselves of blame when crimes do occur.

The school obviously views women as “property.” Ugh!

As a Christian I am appalled and disgusted with the college and people wonder why they reject Christianity it’s because of people like that

I hope the courts figure out the right course of action. However, I will NEVER understand her point of view. Why in the world would you EVER only report this alleged "violent rape" to ONLY the school. Why she would NOT immediately call the police and pursue that course of action is beyond me.

Justice !!

This is DISGUSTING! But I am so proud of her for standing tall and fighting for justice as well as her dad screaming at the administration !! 🙌🙌

I don't understand why this is filed with the college in the first place. It's a felony. It should be a matter for the judicial system, not the college.

Rape is a criminal offence and yet no mention of police involvement or anyone being taken into custody. This report doesn't add up.

the audacity and sociopathy of those stuck-ups is amazing. Having private relations between two consenting adults is a breach of contract of a college? that's ridiculous.

She was off campus. This isn't the college's business. Report it to the police and get the criminal locked up.
