Northwestern professor accused of sexual assault sues accuser for defamation

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A Northwestern University professor accused in a lawsuit of attempting to sexually assault a former student is now suing his accuser for defamation, claiming she made false accusations that invaded his privacy and hindered his career prospects.

Peter Ludlow, a philosophy professor at the Evanston university, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court.

Ludlow alleges the student’s claims that he got her drunk and attempted to sexually assault her are “provably false.”

The allegations stem from a night in February 2012 when the student accompanied Ludlow to an interactive art show in the Loop.
Shouldn't the Chicago Sun-Times name the accuser since she is being sued in court???
