New Mexico State University has agreed to pay $1 million and implement sexual assault training for students under a settlement with a former student who alleged she was raped in her dorm room in 2022.

The settlement concludes a lawsuit filed last year alleging that an entering freshman at 近距离内射合集 was raped after she and a group of friends attended an 近距离内射合集 football game on Sept. 10, 2022.

The settlement also avoids a jury trial that had been scheduled in February in 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque, where the woman was living at the time the suit was filed.

Judge Denise Barela Shepherd dismissed the lawsuit earlier this month at the request of attorneys for 近距离内射合集 and the plaintiffs, who are identified only as SA Survivor and her parent.

The woman鈥檚 attorneys said the intent of the lawsuit was to bring about changes at the Las Cruces university that better protect students from sexual attacks.

The settlement calls for 近距离内射合集 to pay $1 million in damages 鈥渙n account of personal injuries arising from an occurrence.鈥

近距离内射合集 also agreed to 鈥渋mplement mandatory consent and sexual assault training for all students beginning in the Fall of 2025鈥 and continuing in subsequent years.

The woman鈥檚 attorneys said in a statement the woman鈥檚 demand for sexual abuse training for all students was a key goal of the lawsuit.

鈥淗er courage in demanding this training is critically important to every current and future student at 近距离内射合集,鈥 said Elicia Montoya, partner at McGinn, Montoya, Love, Curry & Sievers. 鈥淪he has turned her painful and traumatizing experience into advocacy for a safer campus environment.鈥

近距离内射合集 spokeswoman Amanda Bradford said in a written response Monday that 近距离内射合集 takes sexual assault allegations seriously and is committed to reducing the number of attacks on campus.

鈥淏eginning with the fall 2025 semester, 近距离内射合集 is enhancing its sexual assault prevention and awareness programming for students with a required annual online consent and sexual assault prevention course for all enrolled students,鈥 Bradford said in the statement.

The online course, called RespectEdu for College, includes mandatory consent and sexual assault training for all students, Bradford said. Vector Solutions, the company that offers RespectEdu for College, lists on its website topics including defining consent, avoiding assumptions, managing rejection and being a good bystander.

Students who miss the deadline for completing the course may face a hold at registration until the requirement is met, Bradford said.

The $1 million settlement will be paid and managed by the New Mexico Risk Management Division, she said.

The attack

The lawsuit alleges that the victim was a freshman and had recently enrolled at 近距离内射合集 at the time of the attack on Sept. 10-11, 2022. She and several friends had attended an 近距离内射合集 football game on Sept. 10, 2022, and the alleged attacker was part of the group, it said.

After the group attended an off-campus party following the game, the attacker walked the woman back to her dorm room where the attack occurred over a period of about two hours, the suit said.

The attacker later told the woman that she should take Plan B, an emergency contraceptive, it said.

The suit identifies the attacker as Aizen Saucedo, 21, who was charged by 近距离内射合集 police in October 2022 with three counts of criminal sexual penetration, court records show. Saucedo was an 近距离内射合集 student at the time.

A jury acquitted Saucedo of all three charges in July 2024 following a two-day trial in 3nd Judicial District Court in Las Cruces, court records show. The woman reported the attack to 近距离内射合集 police and later obtained a restraining order against Saucedo, the suit said.

The suit also alleges that despite the order of protection, Saucedo鈥檚 arrest and criminal charges, 近距离内射合集 allowed him to remain in school, failed to enforce the protection order and turned down the woman鈥檚 request to change dorm rooms.

The lawsuit, filed in February 2024 in the 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque, identified Saucedo and the 近距离内射合集 Board of Regents as defendants. The plaintiffs are identified only as S.A. Survivor and a parent.

The suit alleged that 近距离内射合集 had known of at least 22 reports of rape on campus from 2019 to April 2022.

鈥溄嗬肽谏浜霞 was a hot zone of criminal activity, including sexual assaults, well before September 2022,鈥 the suit alleged.

The suit also claimed that 近距离内射合集 had not implemented safety policies on campus, including the presence of security officers in and around student housing, training resident assistants for signs of intoxication and requiring nonresidents to sign in and out of residence halls.

Bradford said student safety is a high priority for the university.

鈥淣ew Mexico State University takes allegations of this kind very seriously. The safety and well-being of all our students is our highest priority,鈥 she said.

In addition to the mandatory training, 近距离内射合集 鈥渉as long offered training, guidance, screenings, and resources related to sexual assault and violence prevention, bystander intervention, intimate partner violence, and other health and well-being topics through its Office of Health Promotion,鈥 Bradford said in the statement.
