Plaintiff in sexual assault lawsuit against KU reveals identity, joins class action suit

A former University of Kansas rower who sued the school anonymously for its handling of her sexual assault allegation revealed her identity and joined a second lawsuit Thursday.

Sarah McClure, previously known as Jane Doe 7 in an ongoing Title IX lawsuit against KU filed April 19 in Douglas County District Court, addressed the situation in a video played at a news conference attended by her father Jim McClure and attorney Dan Curry in Kansas City, Mo.

In the video, Sarah McClure alleges KU “did nothing" for months following her report of the Aug. 29, 2015, incident to the Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access in October.
