I live in Massachusetts.
My former friend “Bertha” has stolen my iPod. I have a conversation taken from “Sean” (an ex-boyfriend who I have a restraining order against) email in which she says I left it in her car, and despite me asking for it to be returned, she told me she lost it, but in reality is keeping it to spite me. I presented this to my college ( a private Christian college) and they informed me that I probably made up this conversation and that Bertha’s mother has prohibited the school and I from talking to her daughter because she is representing her. Both Bertha’s mother and Bertha have made allegations that I made up this conversation. I did NOT, and I can prove that. The conversation was emailed to Sean by himself via his Microsoft Outlook Web Access account at my school, and can’t be changed by me or anyone else. It also says in the properties section (which I can’t change) that Sean is the original author and that the document was created by a Mac OS X computer using the Instant Messaging client Adium which is only for Macs. I don’t own a Mac OS X or have access to one (I’m using a Dell PC). I have asked the college to verify that Sean emailed the conversation to himself through the college’s computer technology dept. So far no one has complied with my request and are instead giving Bertha the benefit of the doubt without even considering my side of the story.
This isn’t just about the iPod anymore either. It’s really a matter of principle, because after all an iPod is just a material item (despite costing 300 dollars). Also in the conversation Bertha states several times that she hates my fiancé (who she used to be the boss of) because of his race and is going to try and get him fired. She calls him several racially charged names and mocks him and me repeatedly. Since this is hopefully going to be used in a case against her for racial harassment in the workplace, its legitimacy needs to be proven. How can I do this aside from what I have already done, and can I somehow require my college to access Sean’s email account to prove that Bertha did indeed say all those things?
