(Lincoln, NE) An 18 year old girl who had been reported missing is sexually assaulted by three men.
Lincoln Police say around 2:00 Friday afternoon, officers were called to a local hospital to speak with a person who said she had been sexually assaulted. Investigators say that the 18 year old reported that she had been sexually assaulted after being reported as missing on May 13th.
LPD says after meeting a 22 year old Talon Dennis over social media, the victim agreed to meet the man at his apartment in the 400 block of Fletcher on May 14th. The victim told officers that when she arrived, she met his roommate, 24 year old Ricky Ossler, as well. Police say that she reported being possibly drugged and feeling threatened while she was at their residence.

Ryan Thompson had the following exchange in response to a member question about what would happen in a Title IX hearing if there was evidence from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) who did not attend the hearing. We thought this exchange might be illuminating:
The Original Question: Complainant receives a SANE exam in a Title IX case. The investigator interviews SANE nurse for investigation, matter goes to hearing, but the SANE is unavailable to attend hearing. Confirming this would mean the SANE records (created by the SANE nurse) could NOT be considered in the hearing because no there is opportunity for cross-examination of the SANE nurse by the parties? In addition, confirming statements provided by complainant to the SANE and statements provided by the SANE to the investigator could NOT be considered for the same reason?
New push to fine hospitals for billing rape victims for forensic exams
The state reimburses hospitals for the costs; still, some send bills to victims or insurance companies
Lawmakers want hospitals to be fined for billing sexual assault victims for forensic exams By Ashlea Kosikowski | May 6, 2021 at 5:16 PM EDT - Updated May 6 at 7:38 PM
WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Lawmakers are considering fines for hospitals that bill sexual assault victims for the cost of forensic exams.
In North Carolina, sexual assault victims are not supposed to get a bill for a forensic exam. Currently, the state reimburses the hospitals. Still, sometimes hospitals send bills to the victim or the victim’s insurance company. CPP reported state law already requires hospitals and providers to accept payments from the state “as payment in full.”
