Amid allegations of rape from a former student,
two professors at Arkansas State University resigned this month, just as the institution was reportedly planning to fire them.
The 25-year-old female Arkansas State University student accused Gregory Russell, an associate professor, and his wife, Ellen Lemley, an assistant professor, of
raping her at their home on the night of April 19. Both professors were in the department of criminology, sociology and geography.
The student accused the couple of drugging her at a restaurant and then raping her at their home. She said she feared that they would “retaliate against me” for losing their jobs and because Russell had “continued to harass me through phone calls, messages and in person .”
