Originally scheduled for Nov. 15, the trial date for Anthony Bertolone has been moved to April 4.
The Drake University senior pleaded not guilty Sept. 13 to third-degree sexual abuse of another Drake student.
He is accused of assaulting a fraternity brother at the Sigma Chi house various times between September 2009 and July 2010, according to police reports.
The victim had no recollection of the assaults and learned of it through pictures and videos he discovered on Bertolone’s computer, according to police.
Bertolone’s membership in the fraternity has been revoked, but he is still attending classes at Drake.
This is despicable, the fact that this case keeps being pushed back is a great reason of the lack of justice on Drake’s campus. One of my friend’s is being accused of sexually assualting a girl while they were both intoxicated and Drake is jumping all over the case and getting ready to expell him. This is all going on while Anthony is still attending classes, I think Drake needs to review its policies and stop the sexist views it has instilled on discipline.
