- WARNING: This report involved graphic details of sexual assault allegations. Viewer discretion is advised.
After being accused of rape by a fellow Yale student, Saifullah Khan was acquitted of rape charges by a jury in 2018. But in a separate inquiry, Yale decided to kick him out. Connecticut’s high court ruled that Khan’s accuser is not immune from liability. Now, Khan is suing his accuser, known only as Jane Doe, and Yale over the allegations. Khan tells “On Balance” host Leland Vittert he “will stand for what is fair.”

This is Yale Law School where they teach people the rule of law? Insanity!
that is a bit ironic don't you think a law school treating itself like judge jury and executioner. Breaking every single code of ethics as it pertains to the law they teach and are renowned for on a global scale. The world is truly a wild place in this era.
😂😂😂😂😂 no they most certainly do not teach the law. At least not the real law. They teach woke propaganda and laws they want to exist. The main thing they teach is guilty until proven innocent.
Insanity in the truest sense of the word.
Absolutely Feminists Toxic Misandry America is gone Mad ! Hysteria ! Hollywood and the Legacy media is Disgusting too !
He was expelled from school - just move on?? I would sue their asses off too.
He lost a lot of years dealing with this bullshit. It would be hard to catch up with all that lost time. The millions he is suing for is for time stollen.
He was also accused of sexually assaulting the male student that spent hundreds of hours helping him prep his case.
7 months after his acquittal his biggest supporter Jon Andrews also accused him of S.assault and got a restraining order.
This guy isn't as innocent as he's claiming. Let's be real OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony were both found not guilty.
That reporter is stupid
Just move on? Do you know the amount of yrs and work he had to put in just to go to Yale. That’s yrs of his life that was taken away! He most def should not move on until retribution!
Yale will really want this to go away. They'll settle for BIG money I think. He'll be set for life. This kind of accusation makes you un-employable even if you're found not guilty. Suing and getting a huge settlement is exactly what I would do.
False rape allegation ruins lives, Yale and that woman ought to pay for their depraved crimes.
I would delete someone for a false allegation. 😂😂😂
"I'll give you something to feel victimized about."
After more research I don't believe this guest.

What should happen is they should serve the sentence their lie would have resulted in if there was a conviction.
Rape allegations, true or false ruins lives. People should pay for their crimes. People who rape and people who lie deserve punishment. It's equal.
@@MakerInMotionso, probation?
In other words, his life has been destroyed and the system in school violated every basic right as a student. This lawsuit is appropriate. If Yale was really smart, they would do everything to settle this they could.
what they heck would she gain. NOTHING. he raped her. it is so incredible hard for women to come forward on this EVIL, God told Paul murderers are to be executed and rapist are worse. to have someone take the freedom of your very body with their slimy body is a nightmare to live with. is hideous to have to relive, though they do in nightmares. he is a dirt bag.

@@drakegorgon1784 Right? the only problem is that doesn't happen enough!
That's right we got to hold these women accountable
and Yale as well.
There needs to be more consequences for false accusers!
Be careful that you’re not taking a stance on something you know nothing about. The Yale administrators actually knew much more than you.v
@@iMatti00 we meet again you should follow your own advice if a court ruled him innocent then the court would have gone trough both sides evidence before the final ruling
@@iMatti00 you stupid a** yale disprove all the evidence and didn't let him a change to talk, the evidence was so in favour with him that it didn't took 3 hours for the court to prove him not guilty all the accuse made by that girl were completely in oppose of her. And more importantly yale is a university not a court who tf they are to decide someone is guilty or not after a fair trail
@SCP_BrightAlt- If memory serves me right, they didn’t exonerate him as innocent but they said instead that he did not receive a fair trial. That’s very different. So what exactly am I incorrect about?
@SCP_BrightAlt- Oh, I understand. Somebody obviously doesn’t understand the difference between “presumed innocent” and actually be innocent. I think the most of us we will get it, because of being presumed innocent men actually innocent then you could never arrest anybody or ever tried them in a court of law at all. Because since everybody is presumed innocent you could never challenged in a sense. But I think most of us understand that distinction.
This reporter is out of his mind! Would he do what he is telling this young man? Yes, he should be compensated for the hell he was put through. Yes, he should sue their butts off. It will let these high-value colleges think twice before they rush to indict a person without all the facts.
There's more to this guy than Leland is revealing. He didn't mention the law student that helped him prepare this case and aided in his defense who went on to accuse him of SA 7 months after his acquittal. This dude is likely a charismatic psychopath with well above average intelligence.
A not guilty verdict isn't a declaration of innocence. It means the state couldn't prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Not attacking you but your disparaging the women and university and the only information you have is from this article. IE your rushing to indict Yale and the accuser without all the facts.
yup the guy is an idiot
@@EricK-tb2dn Don't forget that in order to win any case, this man would have to prove that he was treated shabbily. Real law.
@@Maxshardthat's already been proven.
@@EricK-tb2dn In any cpurt not guilty means exactly what it says it does. If the state couldn't prove the case,it shouldn't have gone to court in the first place.
Yes. Sue the Liar. False accusations should be accountable 🤨

You are taking a stance on something you know nothing about. You don’t know whether he’s innocent or not. Plenty of guilty men have gone free. So I’m trying to figure out what’s different between you and the yell “judges“ that made up their mind without A full trial and due process. Because the Yale administrators actually had much more evidence than you do.c
Imatti00 and by your comments that you are repeating every where, it looks you have a stance on something that you also don’t know about . Same way not guilty is not synonymous to innocent, accused doesn’t mean he is guilty either, like they are lot of guilty people getting out without punishment, there are a lot of innocent men who goes to jail for false accusations and there are a lot of women makes false accusations. So you keep your bias with you.
@@iMatti00Sounds like Yale hampered Saif’s rights by not allowing him to cross examine his accuser. They can’t have had that much information if they had skew the rules so unfairly.
@@Quinntus79- Usually the process is more of s system. I think it sounds more likely that they dont allow assumed victims of sexual to be picked apart of a lawyer.
This guy is a terrible interviewer. Asks questions and doesn’t let him answer. What a waste of time.
He is suing because he has integrity. He is fighting for the establishment of the truth. 110 million is where it hurts. This is America.
Women who lie about this do a huge disservice to actual victims of rape. They should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Move on? Once you're expelled from a university, that follows you for life and makes it very hard to attend another school.
the injustice done to him with defamation is legendary
The interviewer is absolutely awful! He can't hardly get a sentence out but keeps interrupting Khan who can obviously speak very well.
The accuser needs to be PROSECUTED.
Since he faced prison and personal destruction over a false allegation, seems like the perpetrators should pay a price that will make them think twice in the future when they're preparing to burn a witch at the stake.
The interviewer is just rude.
Hope Yale get hits hard in their pockets.
Yep. It's the only way they will stop. Hopefully, colleges around the country will see that violating a students Constitutional Rights can be very expensive. She had her day in court and jury found him not guilty.
Why does she still get to be Jane Doe as the defendant? People who make false allegations do not deserve this privilege. She is a victim of nothing, so why is her identity protected?
Exactly all the other guys need to be warned to stay away from this slag.
Woman privilege
You don’t know whether he’s innocent or not. Plenty of guilty men have gone free. So I’m trying to figure out what’s different between you and the Yale “judges“ that made up their mind without A full trial and due process. Because the Yale administrators actually had much more evidence than you do.
_Edit 12/9/23: corrected voice dictation typo from “yell” to “Yale”._
@@iMatti00Did you watch the entire video? A Connecticut Supreme Court trial was conducted and a jury acquitted him of all charges. That was a full trial with due process, so I have no idea what you are even talking about.
Please do your research properly before attacking others with your unfounded opinions.
@@iMatti00Arrogant fool. You obviously didn't bother to research for more information on this case.Stop trying to justify women who falsely accuse men for rape
This happens so often, these women need harsh punishments for false allegations
Yeah but what would suck is if it actually happened but there was little or no evidence, couldn't be proven, jury finds the accused not guilty and then the accuser gets punished for "false allegation."
he raped her. it is so incredible hard for women to come forward on this EVIL, God told Paul murderers are to be executed and rapist are worse. to have someone take the freedom of your very body with their slimy body is a nightmare to live with. he is a dirt bag.

How can a law school not see how this could backfire? Its amazing, even in the face of the possibility of a major lawsuit they kept pushing their percieved reality. I dont fault people for believing this or that, but for not containing themselves and pushing for him to be punished. This has the potential to ruin their reputation on top of the monetary losses, more so than they have already suffered.
Yale, the school where law is not understood.
I have no trouble with Leland directing the interview where he wants it to go, but he sounded rude IMO while cutting off this young man during his responses to the earlier questions.
Agree
And insensitive! If he was accused by a coworker and lost his job, career and reputation he wouldn’t ask his lawyer why are we suing for this much? He would simply choose a number that at least in some way makes his life better.
Every institution, including Social Media, the Legacy Media, Corporations like Vanguard that does not abide by the American Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence should not be allowed to operate in the US! 110 million is nothing compared to destroying this young man’s life!
Once its been proven that this a false accusation of a very serious crime is false and a lie, the accuser should have to serve the time the person they accused of would have...
I feel bad for him! I hope he wins and finally gets some peace and closure!
This guy is fighting since 2018 to prove his innocence and I can't even find the accuser name. She should be jailed with criminal charges. Make her example so that no women would try this again.
good, it is time to hold all accountable
Did not like the interviewer....never allowed the man to speak his thoughts.
I hope the guy gets the entire $110,000,000 from Yale and puts the accuser in debt.
False accusations can ruin someone's life, and they undermine the seriousness of genuine rapes.
This just shows "elite" institutions are a mess like the rest of the country.
But I'm curious what freaky thing he did for her to falsely accuse him😂
these institutions are liberal, so they must have known something. what they heck would she gain. NOTHING. he raped her. it is so incredible hard for women to come forward on this EVIL, God told Paul murderers are to be executed and rapist are worse. to have someone take the freedom of your very body with their slimy body is a nightmare to live with. is hideous to have to relive, though they do in nightmares. he is a dirt bag.

False allegations should be tagged to a person the same way a crime is attached to a person. These false and malicious allegations will end a person's career and future earnings and the attacker is free to do it all again with whoever the next victim is.
This reporter got some nerve
Move on?! Wait until this MF gets Metoo and fired. See how he "moves on"...
"i'm wondering why you wouldn't just want to move on from all this?" haha! you are the problem. men like you are so eager to fulfill their social obligations, to listen and believe, that you never stop to think about the integrity of the accuser and when it turns out they were lying... hey, let's all just forget this little misunderstanding happened, okay? such profound ignorance.
Exactly. There's no moving on if we continue allowing a hostile environment to fester. The younger generation will feel the full blunt force of these unhinged women
Mr.Kahn,you are a
Brilliant young man. AND
THAT REPORTER NEEDS TO STOP !!!!I WISH MR.KAHN SUCCESS IN HIS LAWSUIT😊
Every false accuser should be sent to prison.
News Nation interviewer, that was a biased and shitty lead-off question. Like you're blaming him for fighting for his dignity. He was the victim of defamation. Now you're victim blaming.
He's pretty bad at his job. Soulless talking head.
This kid deserves every penny from Yale. Men are thrown under the bus all the time for simple accusations like this. If justice is tipped so unfairly, how will they separate the real accusations from the false ones? I want them to make an example of Yale, so this stunt will never be tried again.
People who lie should go to jail
Why! Do you yell at your audience?? It’s offensive, over the top. It’s a distraction from the points you are tryin to discuss with your guest.
It’s a part of liberal cancellation hysteria!
Yeah like yelling rape 25, 30 yrs later! Something is wrong here

Hey NewsNation; your host Leland Vittert sucks big time! Why would a host question the defamation amount? Why didn't the producer coach Mr. Khan on what he could say w/in the time allowed? Why didn't Vittert have a more professional demeanor? It was a very crappy interview on his part. I'm a subscriber so get Vittert some coaching on how to handle an interview or get him another gig. To the topic: I hope the administrator's that manipulated this discovery process on the part of Yale gets hit big time. As of 2022-6/30, Yale endowment is worth $41.4B. So $110M will open their eye's to not do anything like this again...maybe. That's why the big number; incentive to think twice. Yale wanted to unfairly make an example of Mr. Khan, now he can make an example of Yale. Fair play!!
this young man will always have this hanging over him unless he gets justice, yale and the accuser deserve everything they got coming i hope he gets enough he never needs to care what people think
Leland stop cutting off your guest.
Yale is a liberal university.
Yeah, well now it looks like their in deep 💩
They all are woke hopefully trump new education bill will fix some problems
Student teaches Yale university about law....
Nice!
Yeah. Not a respectful interview style.
$110 million should just about cover the tuition and lab fees.
He should also see if there are criminal charges against the false accusation.
Why wouldn’t you sue? Seriously why isn’t the false accuser in the dock?
It would have to be $110 billion dollars to affect Yale's pocketbook!
Was genuinely interested in what the student had to say but he was continually interrupted by the host in such a rude manner. I'll find another source for the man's story as I had to stop watching this one due to lack of common courtesy.
The woman should be charged and if found guilty serve the same sentence HE would have been given. About time this idiocy stopped.
What? The reporter is a joke “Yale went beyond the unfairness even the federal government allows” WTF? Is he an idiot? The Constitution provides foe equal protection and due process. He won the criminal case demonstrating that as sometimes flawed, the judicial system worked for him. Yale, not the federal government, independently- and without due process - expelled him from Yale. The state Supreme Court found Yale’s actions wrong and unconstitutional. So he now sues Yale, the accuser, and some administrators for damages and defamation. Just because he was not guilty in the criminal case does not give rise to a defamation claim. He will likely face counterclaims for assault and personal injury from the accused. The claim against her is going to be difficult, especially if he had physical contact with her (or even sex). The claims against Yale administration appear stronger based on the due process issue, but again defamation (that the accuser’s claim was false) is going to be difficult to prove. Cheers
Why did you interrupt the guy from talking so rudely? But good ending 👍🙏
There is such a bias against men in our society, it is striking and disturbing.
It's not that simple.

@@ksc743 I was afraid to mention this. Thank you. 🩷
I hope it cost Yale more than 100 millions
I would like to hear more from the young man without the interviewer playing the devils advocate. Let the young man speak without constantly interrupting him.
She lied and Yale protected her. Sue them both.
Basically his REPUTATION IS DESTROYED FOREVER. This is what he is suing for- nobody will ever hire him ever, so he needs to be able to retire at age 30.
$10 million? Sounds right for a reputation being ruined.
Move on???!!! This woman literally destroyed his life and reputation and he asks why not just move on. Seriously if a woman gets raped or assaulted than the man should go to prison however there should be a federal law that if a woman is convicted of lying about rape or assault than that woman should get the same sentence as a man would get. That would certainly slow down the false allegations
Now they have to get sued for every time this happened in the past.
Bye bye Yale
Sue the school.
I hope he wins. Not necessarily for the money but to get his integrity back, and hopefully this doesn't happen again.
Do not settle!!!!
“Why don’t you just move on…”. WHAT AN LUDICROUS SUGGESTION ☹️😡🤔😱😤
I know this is a serious thing right here but c'mon man this news opening was legendary the way this man slowly raised his head in an epic way and the background sounds mixed in was too smooth.
Dear Kenneth Copeland I pray that you put your dark gaze upon this woman so that she may acquire all the curses bestowed upon her by your twisted master. Also if Pat Robertson’s ghost is reading this, please be spooky to this girl especially.
-Amen
Reveal the woman who do this false accusation so she can taste her own medicine
Good for him. I hope he wins.
Remember people , according to the Me Too Movement we must believe all women . What could go wrong with that premise ?
Move on is an idiotic remark.
110 million dollars ! Hm,why don't you go for a billion dude,this is America !
First thing they need to do is reveal her name.
there needs to be some sort of recourse for those that are falsely accused. and the accuser should be subject to discipline as well.
To start ask the court to allow the school the same trial type they gave the male student , if the school turns it down then the fundamental truth is shown .
There’s no such thing as “government grants” it’s tax payers money!
It bugs me how this interviewer keeps interrupting him.
It's about time! We are sick of these false accusers! They need to be held accountable too for ruining lives with false accusations.

He used to have "young" stylish hair when he first started reporting in Denver, CO (early 2000s) I think they are trying to make him look more distinguished as he is getting older.

Hope he gets every penny.
Lock that lying trick up as well.
What a terrible interviewer this so-called journalist is.. Very horrible..
Take it all brother. Take it all.
We need to hold women Accountable
Why $110,000? Is that what this host asked? Because it has to be an amount that will cause substantial damage. Yale has to feel the damage they imposed wrongly on another person.
I support this man he is innocent.

Women love to be held...just not accountable.
Something also happened to another prospective NFL player over 15 years ago as well. We can all agree that rape is a horrible thing and anyone rightfully convicted should be punished. But falsely accusing others of it goes beyond “he said, she said.” It’s goes as far as crying wolf that if enough false accusations occur enough times, no one will believe true victims. As for Kahn, especially with what his parents and grandparents went through in Afghanistan, the accuser and Yale’s system took away his family’s American dream. I do agree that falsely accusations of rape should be punished. It goes under perjury (if the accuser testified under oath) and obstructing justice. Are those not crimes as well anymore?
This is a tough one. We need to protect victims, but we can't destroy innocent people in the process. Don't really know how this gets resolved for this and future cases.
what do they even need protection from? if a man robs me and i accuse him, is my identity hidden from him? NO! what if he were to rob me again in retaliation? then he'd face more charges. it shouldn't be different for women and that it is speaks to some heavily antiquated values.
"news nation fact driven unbiased coverage" 😂 bruh what a joke that is
Why should he move on? As a woman, I think that women who make false claims should be punished. I think that they should get the same sentence that the person that they wrongly accused could have gotten.
"WHy do you need 110$ million", falsely accused of r*pe, right to a fair trial was waived (within that UWC hearing), all the years and money/debt he spent on that trash school, He can lose business opportunities just because he was accused. Not the mention the a---hat cut the man off at every point. He was expelled yes he should be able to sue them to get back the money he spent wasted on his degree they didn't give him.
The reporter is crooked. He is trying to condone the school and revictimizing the young man!
