PIO dean mum on sexual assault charges against him - Times of India: "The Indian American Dean of University of California, Berkeley, law school, Sujit Choudhry, will step down after facing sexual harassment charges made by his former executive assistant Tyann Sorell.
"Based on the findings of the investigation I believed that a combination of disciplinary actions, monitoring of his behaviour and formal training would be an appropriate and effective response, and would produce the necessary changes in his behaviour," University executive vicechancellor and provost Claude Steele said.
In a complaint filed on Tuesday against Choudhry and the University of California Board of Regents, Sorell said Choudhry sexually harassed her — rubbing her shoulders and arms, kissing her cheeks and giving her bear hugs that pressed her body against him. When she brought this to the notice of supervisors, they first failed to stop Choudhry and then tried to retaliate against her. "The hugs became tighter and more lingering and the kissing more intimate in that over time Choudhry's kisses began to land closer and closer" to her mouth, according to the court documents cited in the media."
