Can I file a complaint with the school even if I don’t want to press criminal charges?

Yes, if you experienced sexual harassment, you could file a Title IX complaint at your school without going all legal about it. Maybe you need immediate help and protection which your school offers, or you’re trying to avoid the court way because of the legal challenges you might face, like, you’re concerned about retaliation, not being believed, or don’t think you got enough proof, or just want to keep things on the down-low. Schools have procedures for handling sexual harassment under Title IX, independent of the criminal justice system. Your Title IX lawyer can be your guide, showing you how to report this incident at your school through the school’s reporting system.
