As another victim of sexual assault took the stand in District Attorney Greg Newman s removal hearing and witnesses testified to his character, the second day of testimony showed clearly the two sides of the argument.
Witnesses called Newman one of the good guys, while an alleged sexual assault survivor emotionally confronted him over his refusal to pursue her case and the way he treated her.
Grace Pryor was a student at Brevard College when she says she was raped by two fellow students almost six years ago to the day.
She said Brevard Police investigated the matter and told her that Newman would be in touch as the prosecutor.

Warning: Story contains descriptions of sexual violence.
Grace Pryor thinks back with remarkable clarity to that murky, nightmarish night six years ago, when she was stumbling back to her dorm room at Brevard College.
Pryor, now 26 and an aspiring doctor of audiology, knew she’d had too much Bacardi to be driving home in the early morning of April 12, 2015. But she was alert enough to remember the alleged rape by two basketball players she called friends.
In addition to that trauma were the stinging words of District Attorney Greg Newman, whose job Pryor thought was to uphold justice.
“He told me five different ways it was my fault. The one that resonates most is he said it was because I was wearing a crop top and leggings. It was pretty horrifying,” Pryor said.
