SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 12, updated –
Yutong Jin has sued Columbia
University affiliate Solomon
Choi for sexual assault. He
has asked for ten years of her
medical and mental
records.
On January
12 U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it, and will here
report some of it.
Judge
Vyskocil to her credit told
Choi's two lawyers it was not
fair for them to "tag team" a
pro se plaintiff. They replied
that since the plaintiff is
accusing their client of given
her a venereal disease, they
have a right to know if she
ever had one.
Why not
just two years before?
Because, they argued, if she
had it she would stop getting
treatment.
The complaint
cites a South Korean drama,
"Descendants of the Sun." We
are leaving out other details.
There is also a Title IX case
at Columbia itself.
This case is Jin
v. Choi, 20-cv-9129 (Vyskocil)
Update: The above accurate piece,
which was followed up on by another piece
here,
has given rise to a threat of legal action
which in fairness we publish here: "Dear
Inner City Press, I
would like to request you to stop posting
about civil suit between Solomon Choi and
Yutong Jin. This case has already
been concluded after a settlement. I
am suffering continuous damage from the
writing on this site even though the case
is already over. If you don't accept
my request, I have no choice but to take
legal action."
