I‘ve avoided commenting on the Jack Montague situation at Yale because there aren’t enough details right now to determine what happened. Many on the campus have rushed to condemn Montague, the former men’s basketball captain, as a “rapist.” Others have compared the situation to that of the men’s Duke lacrosse team in 2006 or the Rolling Stone gang-rape hoax of 2014.

I think it’s too early to tell at this point. I certainly don’t believe this has the makings of Duke or the University of Virginia (the school at the center of the Rolling Stone article) for the simple fact that in those two cases, the alleged rape didn’t occur because no sex occurred. At U.Va., the alleged rapists didn’t even exist.
