Major L for Former U of Manitoba Student: Dorm Attack Leads to Lawsuit 🚨

The Deets

So, word on the street is a former student from U of Manitoba is throwing hands—legally, that is—with the university. Apparently, back in October, some random dude, Garry Junior Edwards, straight-up violated the vibe by breaking into a dorm. But it gets worse, fam. He allegedly entered a female student's room and did the unthinkable, physically and sexually assaulting her. That's beyond messed up.

Now, she's slapping the university with a lawsuit, claiming they were totally slacking on their duty to protect her. She's saying they didn't stop this dude from waltzing in, didn't have the right cameras, and didn't properly vet people who had access to the dorms. Big yikes.

Because of this whole nightmare, she's dealing with physical pain, PTSD, and a whole load of mental anguish. She had to bounce from the university, and now she's trying to pick up the pieces. The lawsuit is asking for some serious cash for damages, as well as to cover all her health care costs, both now and in the future. She's not playing, and honestly, who could blame her?

The university's PR team is doing damage control, saying they're "aware of the claim" and will "respond as required." They're also trying to reassure everyone that student safety is their "top priority" and that they have "safety initiatives" and measures on campus, like safety sessions. But let's be real, it sounds like a whole lot of cap after something like this went down.

Oh, and the dude who allegedly did all this? He's been arrested and is facing charges like sexual assault and robbery. Turns out, he's a repeat offender and was even flagged as a high risk to re-offend. So the question is, what were the school's campus security even doing?
