Lamb McErlane partner Dan Bush represented a young man, student-athlete at Villanova University who was charged with attempted rape and related offenses stemming from an incident on campus at the beginning of his freshman year. The Complainant alleged that he forcibly tried to rape her in his dorm room. Shortly thereafter, she told several friends and a Villanova Resident Assistant, but did not formally report things to the police for approximately 18 months, at which time the young man was charged with crimes, immediately kicked out of school and lost his football scholarship. Four and a half years later the case proceeded to a four day jury trial in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, after which the jury acquitted him of all charges.
