New Mexico Settles with Alleged Victim for $200K

Paul Steinbach Headshot

A civil suit filed in February 2015 by a woman who claims she was gang raped by three University of New Mexico students, including two UNM football players, received a $200,000 settlement from the state, according to newly released records.

Courtney Spenser, who alleged she was raped as a freshman in April 2014, first sued UNM in federal court on the Title IX claim that her case was mishandled by the university. The alleged perpetrators were never prosecuted, due to "insufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." The three men likewise sued the university, claiming it had botched the case and prevented their names from being cleared. A federal judge dismissed most of their claims, and the three dropped their final one earlier this year.
