A former student at Strathclyde University, who was the victim of a pervert professor, is taking the Glasgow establishment to court to force them to pay promised compensation.
Normally such claims are settled within 28 days – but three months later he hasn’t been paid a penny, the Daily Record reports. Now his lawyers Digby Brown are set to raise a legal action at Glasgow Sheriff Court for the money.The man was a Strathclyde student between 2008 and 2012. On one occasion, O’Gorman tried to grab his thigh, then seized him by the neck and tried to pull the student towards him.
The former student said: “Strathclyde University agreed a settlement which I have not received. The money should have been paid and it hasn’t. The former student added: “O’Gorman became notorious for the way he would be with boys, in particular touching them inappropriately. He told me he’d be my dissertation tutor and get me a first-class honours degree providing I did what he said.
