The Rape Accusation Against Meg Whitman's Son That Got Hushed Up

As a student at Princeton University, the son of California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman—one of the school's most celebrated donors—was accused of sexually assaulting a classmate. This is the story of the explosive accusation and its quiet aftermath.

Griffith Rutherford Harsh V was never arrested or charged with a crime in connection with the incident. Princeton dealt with it quietly and internally, ultimately allowing Harsh to continue his education. He graduated with the class of 2009, three years after his rape accusation—and two years after the inauguration of Whitman College, the residential living complex his billionaire mother donated $30 million to help build. The donation was announced in 2002, the year before Griff matriculated.

The Accusation

On a spring night in 2006, Griff—then a sophomore—went partying on the Street, a boozy row of private undergraduate dining clubs. As he would later tell a panel of university disciplinarians, he ran into a classmate and went home with her. They had sex. She awoke the next morning with a black eye, bruised face and, she told friends, with no memories from the previous night. According to multiple sources—one of whom was a dormitory adviser at the time—the girl told her friends Griff Harsh had raped her.

A friend who spent time with her the following morning spoke to us under the condition of anonymity: "She woke up with him on top of her, and he was like, 'You need the morning-after pill.' And she was like, 'Why, what happened?' She didn't remember having sex, she didn't remember consenting, she didn't remember any of it.

"She had clearly hurt herself badly. Or been hurt badly."

1. All persons are equal before the law.

Unless they are not. The line of delineation is an socio-economic line.

2. Now, now, I'm sure it was just an accusation.

Women lie and make shit about about men all the time, especially to cover up consensual sex they are ashamed of.
