Duke University Student Sues for "Wrongful Seduction"

When her frat-boy boyfriend tried to jump her bones after his fraternity's Christmas party, student Nora Lindsey Kantor told him to stop. Eventually, he did. But that didn't stop her from filing a civil suit against him and his fraternity for "wrongful seduction" -- an outdated tort that was once used by fathers to sue the "despoilers" of their unmarried daughters, or sometimes by single women claiming they were seduced by false promises of marriage. Ironically, the tort she has chosen recalls a time when women were essentially considered the "property" of men. Read about it here.
