PMPBR Sues Christian College for Failing Rape Victims

Attorneys: Megan Bonanni, Beth Rivers, and Channing Robinson-Holmes

Grace Chen and Danielle Villarreal chose to attend Hillsdale College because they thought the Christian school would be safe. Two years later, they find themselves suing the school, alleging they were raped, and the college failed to help them in the aftermath.   

They’re now taking the prominent Christian institution to court in the Western District of Michigan, saying it failed to respond to their attacks and misrepresented how safe they would be. In the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, their attorneys argue the school has “fostered a campus environment that exposes students to an unacceptable and unusually high risk of sexual assault.”
