Stanford rape suspect’s creepy campus role revealed — after college girl’s horrific dorm claims

Stanford student Leo Rossitter is accused of sexually assaulting an intoxicated sophomore in her dorm room after walking her home from a campus party. The case is due to proceed to a criminal trial, with a hearing to schedule it set for December; Rossitter denies the allegations through his attorney.

Before the allegations, Rossitter served as a designated sobriety monitor at university social events, where monitors were expected to stay sober, help manage emergencies and look out for intoxicated guests. Prosecutors charged him in October 2024 with rape and oral copulation of an intoxicated person, and penetration by force. Stanford suspended him for two years following an internal Title IX investigation, and he became eligible to return to classes this quarter.
