Duke Invites Charged Players Back to School
Duke University has asked Reade Seligman and Collin Finnerty, charged with sexual assault, to return to Duke.
This is a stunning turnaround, since they are still charged with felonies. From Duke's letter to the boys and its public statement:
As circumstances have evolved in this extraordinary case, we have attempted to balance recognition of the gravity of legal charges with the presumption of your innocence," Duke officials wrote to the Seligmann family in a letter obtained by ABC News Law & Justice Unit.
"Now with the approach of a new term, we believe that circumstances warrant that we strike this balance differently. At this point, continued extension of the administrative leave would do unwarranted harm to your educational progress. We decided…to lift the administrative leave," the letter states.
