by Liz White

On Jan. 9, 2002, a court action was filed against Oberlin College by an employee using the pseudonym Jane Doe at Lorain County Common Pleas Court. The action, which was filed as a complaint for over $25,000 and demands a trial by jury, is in reference to an alleged rape that occurred last year outside Drag Ball and claims that Oberlin College was “negligent in employing and maintaining as a police and security officer a known sexual predator, namely Quinn Barbee.” The case is predicted on Doe’s claim that last April 14, Barbee, while working as a security guard for the night’s campus event, “brutally attacked and raped plaintiff causing her severe physical and emotional injury.”
