What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Two days ago, two uniformed police officers came to my home to ask me questions regarding a complaint that was filed with them. I am a graduate student and the report was filed by a female undergraduate student with whom I have no hold over their grades or any form of academic progress. She initiated conversations with me roughly seven weeks ago that were initially pedestrian but became, at one point, somewhat graphically sexual; something she initiated when she recounted the story of how she had behaved irresponsibly by engaging in sexual intercourse with "a random guy" which led to teasing on both sides of the conversation. Conversations between us over facebook and text message continued for about five to six weeks and over the course of that time many subjects were discussed across a broad range of topics. She began to ask for help with money and homework assignments. I wrote something for her mainly as an example of a well-written essay but she turned it in as her own work. She asked me for money or for me to take her shopping. She claimed she had less than $10 in the bank, couldn't afford to do laundry, and could not afford to eat; I gave her $100. In turn, I asked her to do some things around my house like doing dishes or putting away laundry. Not long after, I was asked to come to my department head's office where I was told the undergraduate student had made an administrative claim against me. At this point I cut all contact off with this person. I deleted her number from my phone and, a few days later, blocked her from my facebook. This brings me back to the police officers. During the course of their questioning they brought up two unusual points: 1. One asked when I took my "male member" out and why (I hadn't done this); 2. The same officer quoted a text message sent to this persons phone and accused me of sending it. This text message was one I was completely unfamiliar with and I assumed it was one that had been sent after I had cut off all contact with this person. I told the officer that I had no idea about the text message to which he was referring and I also explained that I hadn't shared a word with her in any form since my initial meeting with my department head two weeks ago. He then said, "It came from your phone number. The one we have on record at the university." This point is absolutely, positively false as I have not had contact with this person for almost two weeks! Also, it turns out this undergraduate has been sharing our conversations out of context with other undergraduates and faculty in my department. I was once well-respected within the department and now I have been relegated to sitting in an office for hours on end which disallows me to do a majority of the work I am required to perform.
1. Did I do anything wrong? In context, all this person and I shared was conversation. I never had intercourse, never kissed, nor ever touched this person.
2. If this person stated I removed my "male member" from my trousers but did not and stated I sent threatening text messages to her when I did not, is this false reporting on her part? Why would a police officer lie to me about the text message I was supposed to have recently sent when I positively did not?
3. When this is all over (I'm hoping that this will be dismissed or I will be found not guilty of any criminal charges), would a case of defamation in false light be possible against the person making the claim?
I'm trying to get my ducks in a row before I meet with my attorney tomorrow morning. I secured an attorney when I first heard of the administrative claim but now that it seems a police report was filed (almost two weeks after the administrative complaint, it seems), I am thinking more urgently.
Please help and thank you!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
