"Plaintiff's claim that Liberty owed her a duty to take administrative action either before or after a sexual assault fails because such a duty is not recognized in Virginia," wrote U.S. District Judge Norman K. Moon of the Western District of Virginia. "Second, Plaintiff argues that Liberty had a duty to Plaintiff via Oasis Defendants' actions, because The Oasis is a 'de facto' student dormitory ...

Even then, Oasis Defendants ... had no duty to Plaintiff."
