Man Accused of Sexually Assaulting ‘Mattress Girl’ Loses 2nd Suit Against Columbia

Heat Street reports:
Paul Nungesser, the man accused of sexual assault by Emma Sulkowicz, aka Mattress Girl, has lost his second lawsuit against Columbia.

The lawsuit contended that Columbia violated Nungesser’s Title IX rights and two state laws after it improperly handled Sulkowicz’s public campaign to get Nungesser removed from campus. Judge Gregory Woods dismissed the case Friday “with prejudice,” prohibiting Nungesser from filing similar lawsuits in the future.

Nungesser accused Columbia of participating in a campaign of “severe, pervasive and objectively offensive” harassment, despite the university finding him not responsible for assaulting Sulkowicz.

Following the university’s decision not to discipline Nungesser, Sulkowicz garnered national attention by carrying a mattress around Columbia’s campus for her senior thesis art piece, “Carry That Weight.” Sulkowicz said she would carry the mattress under Nungesser left or was removed from campus.
