2014 University of Minnesota rape case

2014 University of Minnesota rape case was a highly mediatized case involving Daniel "Dan" York Drill-Mellum, a student of University of Minnesota and fraternity member of a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. The case received ongoing coverage in the media after one of the women he was convicted of raping, Abby Honold, came forward and talked about how initially authorities did not press charges.[1] Drill-Mellum had been arrested on Christmas Eve 2015 in relation to allegations from 2014.[2] In 2016 he was arrested again[3] and tried. On August 31, 2016, he was sentenced to a 74-months in prison following a guilty plea on two counts of rape including the case involving Honold.[4] In November 2016, an episode of the Dr. Phil Show was aired about the case.[5]
