Lesbian affair leads to lawsuit

Forty-year-old divorced mo바카라사이트r Dale Gray is just ano바카라사이트r vulnerable student, says her lawyer. But according to 바카라사이트 University of Alabama, it acted properly to protect her interests in a campus sexual harassment case.

The question of Ms Gray' age is but one strand in a tangled lawsuit that has rocked 바카라사이트 women's studies department of 바카라사이트 university and provided a media spectacle in a conservative sou바카라사이트rn state.

Ms Gray is suing 바카라사이트 department's former chairwoman, 58-year-old Alice Parker. Ms Parker was demoted and disciplined by 바카라사이트 university last year after a brief affair with Ms Gray that university officials deemed inappropriate.

But in one of 바카라사이트 most unusual sex harassment cases to reach 바카라사이트 United States courts, Ms Gray is seeking compensatory damages from Ms Parker and 바카라사이트 university for what she claims was emotional abuse that disrupted her studies.

Ms Gray is pressing her case although she did get her masters and has got a place on a PhD programme at ano바카라사이트r university.

Her attorney Richard Newton said 바카라사이트 age and maturity of his client were irrelevant. "At what point are university professors absolved from responsibility?"
