Ethics and Libel

According to the story's draft, there are evidence of libelous and I, as an editor, would not publish the report. The main point of the story is that Hart only claimed the inappropriate events involving Jungle. She has not pursued an investigation with the University (yet), and the story lacks any involvement with authorities. A girl simply claiming that her teacher was inappropriate with her is not enough to published. If she has involved authorities, then it would be enough to publish since there was an investigation. Some credibility could be given to this story as well; this story was more of a he-said/she-said type, because it only contained quotes from the two parties and not a third party.
