AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A tale of love, lust, and betrayal, Gross Misconduct is loosely based on the real-life events surrounding an American college professor who was wrongly accused of raping one of his female students in the 1950s. The professor, Justin Thorne, is well liked by his students and is also the envy of his peers. When a young girl's fantasy turns to obsession, however, it threatens to destroy everything he holds dear: his freedom, his family, and his career. Fearing to expose the real rapist because of the shame it will cause her, the student wrestles with her conscience, the only thing standing between the professor and long-term incarceration.
