A former Mercer University student has filed lawsuits against the college and a fellow student contending she was sexually assaulted two years ago at a fraternity house on campus.
In a lawsuit filed Jan. 10 in federal court, the woman accused the private Macon university of failing to take action on the case, even though she complained to school officials about the alleged rape.
The woman, an 18-year-old freshman at the time of the incident, filed a complaint with the Macon Police Department the same day of the attack, Jan. 10, 2003. She told police that she had been raped at Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at Mercer.
She identified her attacker as Daniel Day, a Mercer student who is the son of state Rep. Burke Day (R-Tybee Island). In a separate suit filed in Bibb County Superior Court, the woman names Day as the defendant. The suit accuses Day of sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment.
