Northwestern University (Chicago,IL) scholarships needy cheerleaders only to pimp them out as prostitutes to their big donors & VIPs

Northwestern's sex trafficking scheme is exposed and not 1 liberal journalist will cover it.

A former cheerleader for Northwestern University who says her coach intentionally put her in situations where she was sexually harassed and assaulted can proceed with her sex trafficking and forced labor claims against the school, the coach, and several school officials, a federal judge said.

#1 school for journalists, yet the liberal media has refused to cover it

Threatened & intimidated needy girls

Violated forced labour & human trafficking laws

Scholarshiped students to cheerlead

Sex trafficking & emotional distres

If the girls talked, they would owe the university multiple thousands of dollars

Pimped out to Donor Events & VIP Fan Events

Cheerleaders forced into events where they are harassed... interest in donations counts as commercial benefit.

Northwestern cheerleaders 'presented as sex objects' to entice fans, donors, lawsuit claims

Former Northwestern cheerleader's sex trafficking claims can proceed in court, judge rules

A former Northwestern University cheerleader claims she and her teammates were “presented as sex objects” at numerous events, including football tailgates at the Evanston school, and were forced to interact with drunk and belligerent fans for the university’s financial gain.

As a result, some were sexually harassed on numerous occasions while wearing their Northwestern uniforms, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in federal court in Chicago.

The plaintiff, Hayden Richardson, described a “hostile environment” throughout her two seasons as a Wildcats cheerleader, which included repeated instances of sexual harassment, her suit lawsuit says.

Richardson alleges Northwestern “forced its cheerleaders to behave in a degrading and demeaning manner” to get wealthy fans and alumni to donate to the university and its athletic department.

Former Northwestern cheerleading coach Pamela Bonnevier required female squad members to “mingle” with intoxicated fans without security at several university-sanctioned events, according to the suit. That resulted in Richardson allegedly being groped, assaulted and subjected to “incessant sexual comments,” and in some instances, fans placing their hands on her buttocks and breasts while taking pictures, the suit says.

“It became clear to [Richardson] that the cheerleaders were being presented as sex objects to titillate the men that funded the majority of Northwestern’s athletics programs,” her suit says. “After all, the happier these men were, the more money the University would receive from them. The University’s actions made it clear that brains do not bring in large donations, sex does.”

In the suit, first reported by the Chicago Tribune, Richardson said she initially felt “trapped” in her situation on the cheer team because if she didn’t comply she would be booted from the team, lose her scholarship and be forced to repay the expenses incurred while she was on the team.

When she did come forward, Richardson alleges the athletic department mishandled her complaints. One athletic department official initially didn’t report her complain to the Title IX office, the lawsuit said, a violation of the university’s Title IX policy and federal Title IX guidance.

“It further became evident to [Richardson] that Northwestern’s commitment to supporting victims was a façade to conceal a much uglier reality — Northwestern was willing to silence, and sacrifice the well-being of, its female athletes in order to keep its donors happy,” the suit said.

In a statement, Northwestern said it reviewed the complaint and denies the university violated any law, including Title IX.

“We take all complaints seriously, and we appreciate the courage it takes for anyone in our community to come forward to report potential wrongdoing,” the statement said. “In this case, the University’s Office of Equity conducted a lengthy and thorough investigation, following University policies and procedures.”

Northwestern and Bonnevier are named as defendants in the lawsuit as well as the Deputy Title IX Coordinator and two members of the university’s athletic department, which funds the cheerleading program.

The suit said Bonnevier was fired in October, though it’s unclear if these allegations played apart in her departure. Northwestern confirmed she’s no longer employed.

Richardson seeks an unspecified amount in damages for emotional and psychological distress as well as loss of educational and career opportunities.

Richardson’s suit follows similar ones filed by professional cheerleaders. In 2018, seven former cheerleaders sued the Houston Texans, alleging they were subjected to assault, harassment and unpaid wages.

In a 2018 New York Times report, dozens of NFL, NBA and NHL cheerleaders opened up about their experiences, shining a light on the “systematic exploitation by teams” that profit from sending the women to tailgates and other events where they’re subjected to harassment.

The US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Thursday rejected the defendants’ argument that Hayden Richardson, the cheerleader, failed to state a civil claim for sex trafficking. Some of her state law claims, however, were dismissed but with the possibility of them being amended and refiled.

Richardson says Pamela Bonnevier, the head ...

A Northwestern University lawsuit filed by a former cheerleader can forward on labor trafficking, forced labor, sex trafficking counts, a judge ruled.

EVANSTON, Ill. (WLS) -- Portions of a lawsuit filed against Northwestern University by a former cheerleader will move forward.

The cheerleader filed the lawsuit back in 2021, alleging she suffered sexual assaults and harassment at multiple events by fans, alumni and donors.

Now, a federal judge is allowing the lawsuit to move forward on several counts, including forced labor trafficking, forced labor and sex trafficking.

In a statement on Friday night, Northwestern said it takes Title IX complaints seriously and investigates them fully, adding, "While we respect the right of individuals to seek redress through the legal system, it is important to keep in mind that the lawsuit, filed more than two years ago, contains only allegations. The university remains confident that the allegations are baseless."

The bow of the shipwreck Northwestern (1847)

On a clear September night in 1850, the schooner Northwestern traveled up Lake Huron with a load of salt. Several miles north of Presque Isle, the schooner’s lookout spotted a down-bound steamship traveling on a collision course with the schooner. Since passing nearby ships was routine along Lake Huron’s busy shipping lanes, Northwestern simply adjusted its course to steer clear of the passing steamer.

Meanwhile, onboard steamship Monticello, a light was spotted in the distance. The officer on watch, confused about his ship's actual location, mistook this light for that of the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse and changed course. The light belonged to Northwestern. Monticello's altered course drove it straight into the side of Northwestern. Unable to sustain the impact by the larger and heavier steamship, the schooner quickly sank. Its crew of eight evacuated safely and were rescued.

Killer Whale Pod of Many Nations (2006) by Odin Lonning (Tlingit) carved cedar with acrylic

The seven-foot-long red cedar carving of five killer whales in five Northwest Coast Native art styles is a tribute to endangered orcas and Coastal tribes from Puget Sound to Alaska.

The Tlingit whale denotes how a crest originates in the story of Natsiclané, or Creation of the Killer Whale. The Haida whale embodies two stories about the Raven-Finned Killer Whale and the adventures of Nanasimgit and His Wife. The Nuu-chah-nulth whale signifies the timeless wolf-killer whale connection in their culture and commemorates Tsux’iit (Luna).

The Kwakwaka’wakw whale celebrates the triumphant reunion of Keetla (Springer) with her pod in Namgis First Nation territory in British Columbia. A vocal delegation of “Springer’s Peeps” cheered enthusiastically for this whale, which shows Springer spyhopping. The Coast Salish whale pays homage to the Indigenous peoples and Southern Resident orcas of the Salish Sea.

Flashback to October 2015 when Meghan Markle's BFF mailed Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, a copy of her novel whose main character is based on her bff, Meghan Markle. Meghan & Harry traveled to Istanbul, Turkey in April 2015. Roth sent her novel to Catherine six (6) months later. These people are something else.

"Thank you Kate Middleton. You are what pretty is" -Lindsay Roth Jordan

Because I'm from the states, you don't grow up with the same understanding of the royal family and while I now understand very clearly there's a global interest there---I didn't know much about him and so the only thing I asked her when she said she wanted to set us up was---I had 1 question---I asked well is he nice because if he wasn't kind it didn't seem like it would make sense.---->lying during the engagement Interview

I think for both of us though it was really refreshing because given that i didn't know a lot about him everything that I've learned about him I've learned through him as opposed to having grown up around different news stories or tabloids or whatever else. Anything i learned about him and his family was what he would share with me and vice versa. So for both of us it was just a really authentic and organic way to get to know each other. --->lying during the engagement interview
