SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 15 – Fordham University's Oswaldo Hugo Benavides has been sued for sexual harassment, by his mentee Julius Bowditch.

 Inner City Press, which covered the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, found the Complaint in the docket there. 

  Bowditch recounts how Benevides as the chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, targeted him as an adjunct professor - including groping his groin on the subway.

Then at a dinner celebrating Fordham's TRAC grant, Benevides suggested they continue drink. It let to an assault, the complaint states. 

The case is Bowditch v. Fordham University, et al., 23-cr-4001 (Unassigned)
