Rape victim Landen Gambill faces being kicked out of college because she 'INTIMIDATED' her 'attacker' by speaking out

A college student now faces expulsion because school administrators say that she is 'intimidating' her alleged rapist by publicly discussing the sexual assault.

The victim, a female sophomore at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, went through the school-sanctioned order of filing a complaint against her fellow student and ex-boyfriend raped her.

Rather than remain anonymous about her sexual assault, she has publicly released her name- Landen Gambill- spoken in many news interviews, and even talked about her own experiences in front of a variety of media representatives at a public rally pushing for the school to increase their support for victims.

In none of those instances has she named her alleged attacker.

Admirable: Ms Gambill, a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill, is using her experience to help others but now she is being threatened with expulsion by school administrators

The latest drama comes now that a school administrator told Ms Gambill said that she may have violated the school's honor code and could be expelled herself rather than the alleged rapist.

The threat of expulsion came after she joined a group of 64 other students and teachers that filed a legal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, saying that UNC administrators pressured them to underreport cases of sexual assault on campus.

'I'm mostly surprised at just how crazy it is, that they're willing to charge me with something just because my rapist is feeling uncomfortable,' Ms Gambill told The Huffington Post.

At the school, all inter-student grievances go through the Honor Court which is where she brought up the charges against her long term boyfriend.

According to the school newspaper, the Daily Tarheel, Ms Gambill said that she was grilled by the students on the panel- even the female students- who seemed to place the blame of the assault on the victim rather than the attacker.

'They implied that I was emotionally unstable and couldn’t be telling the truth because I had attempted suicide,' Ms Gambill told the paper.

Not shying from attention: Gambill, who has spoken publicly about her assault, has never released the name of her attacker but the school is claiming that she is intimidating him

Group effort: She joined a 64-person group who filed a federal complaint with the school over their under-reporting of sexual assault cases on campus

'The woman student said to me, "Landen, as a woman, I know that if that had happened to me, I would’ve broken up with him the first time it happened. Will you explain to me why you didn’t?"'

The rape in question happened during her freshman year, and she brought it to the Honor Court's attention this past spring. The alleged rapist is still on campus and has not been charged, either by the school or the law.

Threats: Elizabeth Ireland, the Graduate & Professional Schools Student Attoey General, emailed Gambill saying that she now faces two Honor Court charges of her own

After months of inaction, Ms Gambill joined the federal case against UNC, which charges that the school pressured former administrators to report a lower sexual assault rate.

Jezebel reports that ten days after the case was made public, Ms Gambill received an email from Elizabeth Ireland, the Graduate & Professional Schools Student Attoey General, who said that her public speaking could be deemed a Honor Code violation.

Ireland went on to send her an email confirming that there was sufficient evidence that Ms Gambill had been 'disruptive or intimidating' towards her alleged attacker and the issue will be brought up in Honor Court.

'This type of gross injustice is the reason why UNC students are speaking out and demanding answers,' Ms Gambill told Jezebel. 

'The reason why I'm so vocal about this isn't because I just want justice for my case. I want to make sure no one else has to go through this if they want to report an assault to the university.'
