On September 6, 1998, three teenagers from Chicago, Jared Adams, Dimitri Henley and

Rove Enhill, took a trip to the University of Wisconsin Whitewater for a party.

While trying to meet up with their friends, a student named Sean Demaine invited the

guys into his dorm room to use his phone, where they ended up hanging out with the

main's friends and meeting two girls who will refer to as the accuser and her roommate.

After some flirting, the two young white women invited the three young black men back to

their own dorm room and the group slowly trickled up to the room.

When the roommate finally arrived, the accuser was performing oral sex on one of the young

men on the roommate's bed.

Enraged, the roommate called the accuser a slut and ran out of the room.

The accuser ran after her roommate who went into a friend's room and locked the door.

When her apology was rebuffed, the accuser returned to the room and continued the sexual

encounter.

Later on, the group all went outside to the smoking area where they reconnected with

Sean Demaine, joked around and went home.

It all seemed like a consensual coming of age experience until it wasn't.

Three months later, the criminal legal system and the racism that has always plagued our

country came to claim three more victims.

In typical fashion, money and arbitrary procedural bars made for three radically different

outcomes for these three young men, two of whom spent nearly a decade each behind bars.

This is wrongful conviction with Jason Floum.
