They feel the school failed to protect their daughter when she sought help.
A $56 million lawsuit has been filed by the parents of Lauren McCluskey after they allege her university failed to protect their daughter from an ex-boyfriend she’d complained about to police more than 20 times.
. McCluskey’s mother, Jill, believes the university did nothing to protect her daughter or other students since Lauren’s death. McCluskey reported the harassment and stalking to campus police, then eventually called 911. Unfortunately, they directed her back to campus police. Three days later, her stalker killed her. An investigation into her death found the “University of Utah officers did not know how to look up criminal background or parole information” on her stalker, a convicted sex offender “who had twice been sent back to prison for parole violations.” He killed himself hours later after a chase with police.
