A student from Prairie View A&M University in Texas has filed a lawsuit alleging that a professor offered her to improve her grade in the class if she would have sex with him. The plaintiff alleges in her lawsuit that the former professor met with her several times to discuss her grade in his computer science class and pressured her to have sex. The lawsuit alleges that the 76-year-old professor cornered the plaintiff, squeezed her breast and said he would give her an A in his class if she would meet him at a hotel for sex. Since the plaintiff and three male friends confronted the professor, the school has opened a criminal investigation on him for abuse of his public position.
