Re: lawsuit in Australia
Yes
Hi.. I have been thinking about lawsuit in Australia (perhaps the first of several ones we will be involved in). In Australia all one has to do is show she lied about facts in a public document.. even if she was just repeating false facts from someone else to use to impugn me. The three unassailable facts are:
There is no photo of me touching anyone's breast.
There was no claim of me doing anything similar regarding the woman at CWRU
I have never threatened anyone with litigation to cause them to remove any blog.
There are of course other lies, but I think if we focus on these lies in her effort to impugn me that we have a solid case. I would like to begin the process of exploring counsel in Australia. Are you on board? Note that none of this is retaliation against her claim at ASU, but against her public claims associated with this.

i am aware, what i am trying to point out to you is that your instincts have not served you well at all. you need to stop, think and correct. you have been consistent re the allegations, and your presentation, which you believed until the very last day would exonerate you. obvious to most if not all that it would not happen. the presentation of your appeal letter is in and of itself not a winner, it will be your presentation. and the ability to overcome the skepticisms re your version of events. these are emotional arguments not factual, but i have said that for almost a year. this is super important for the rest of your life.. the appeal is the only thing and if you are relying on what you have prepared to date the odds are not in your favor. I give you credit for persistence, but you need to take a cold look at the results so far.
I refer you to this email exchange last week, after you asked me to initiate this process..
I agree that the appeal presentation is very important.. and I appreciate your grounding me on a variety of issues here, and that my assumptions in many cases were completely wrong. The conciliation process is not a hearing though, and I have no idea at this point what they will ask. They are essentially charged, as far as I can see, with the task of looking at the Dean's letter and my appeal letter, and seeing if they can suggest any action that would satisfy both parties. They are not there to take evidence or even adjudicate the truth. I think they are there to look at both letters and see which they think is more convincing, and on the basis of both what action moving forward is most appropriate. I hope to learn more about this as this proceeds.
In any case, I did what was on my homework for this morning,.. I spent 40 min drafting a possible letter to solicitors in Australia. If you are not onboard for that.. namely if you have changed your mind compared to what you proposed and agreed to last week, I will drop that.. But I wanted to draft something to see what that might look like and get feedback about the letter..
