The University of Michigan is investigating one of its associate professors accused of paying a U-M Law School student for sexual acts after meeting her online, officials said...HAHAHAHAHAHA! Get it? Because she's a law student! And, because she was selling sex, the police can ignore the fact that she may well be the victim of an assault and crack jokes at her expense! Who doesn't like a good old fashioned game of Shame the Slut?
The case came to light in April when the student went to an Ann Arbor police station to report she was assaulted by [Prof. Yaron] Eliav after they met at a hotel on the city's north side. The student told police she was advertising sex acts online via Craigslist to help pay tuition costs...
The rarity of how the case began - with a law student showing up at the police department's front desk to report she was assaulted while committing a crime herself - was not lost on investigators.
"Perhaps she should have cracked a legal textbook before coming in to the police station to talk about this," Ann Arbor Detective Sgt. Richard Kinsey said.
Usually, when I come across a quote like this, I'd expect it to be in the context of a blog post on modern sexism, probably by Ezra (Klein Sucks!), Matt (Yglesias Rules!) or SpAckerman. As a general rule, I don't expect to find them in posts laughing right along with the police officers on Above the Law.
Normally, I'd credit AtL with a hat tip, but there's nothing about the sexism in the AtL post that deserves a tip of the hat.
