A federal judge in Tacoma has sided with Washington State University in dismissing a lawsuit from a former student who was raped off campus. Western Washington U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle dismissed the case on Friday granting WSU’s request for a summary judgement.
The suit was filed by a woman who was raped by former WSU student Thomas Culhane in 2017. The 25-year-old from Camas was convicted by a Whitman County Superior Court Jury on two counts of 2nd degree rape in March of 2019. Legal issues led to Culhane pleading guilty to a lesser felony count of 2nd degree assault with intent to commit rape. He was sent to jail for 9 months.

Although we believe the CIA and FBI should be abolished completely, as a result of their roles in subverting the Trump presidency, America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI) has campaigned to save the NSA from congressional restrictions that would undermine its surveillance programs. This stand has not been popular in left-wing and some libertarian circles. But it is the right thing to do. It is more important than ever before.
The dramatic hacking of federal government and private networks demonstrates the threat. What many won’t concede is that these hackers, apparently originating in Russia and/or China, also have the demonstrated ability to hack into our electronic voting systems, and undoubtedly did so.
