NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A college student from New York is suing Stonehill College in Massachusetts, a Catholic Liberal Arts College, saying her roommate’s sex life drove her into a suicidal depression and that the school did nothing to address her concerns.

The student, Lindsay Blankmeyer, alleges that her roommate, “Laura,” was “having online and actual sex right in front of her,” according to the court complaint.

“More disturbingly, Laura would have sex with her boyfriend while Lindsay was trying to sleep just a few feet away. Laura would also engage in sexually inappropriate video chatting when Lindsay was in the room,” the complaint read.

Blankmeyer suffered from depression and Attention Deficit Disorder when she enrolled at Stonehill in September of 2007. She said she wanted to see how she would perform in school “without any sort of additional help in the form of a reasonable accommodation.”

However, the complaint states that Blankmeyer began to incur issues because her roommate “often had overnight guests without asking [Blankmeyer's] permission or even informing [her] that she would be having guests.”

The complaint also went on to say that Blankmeyer’s roommate would “stay up late with lights on,” keeping her awake. The complainant even claims that her roommate “began shaking her and yelling at her” while she was sleeping.

Blankmeyer eventually went to her resident assistant, detailing her “toxic environment” and “emotionally taxing…struggles.”

After the resident assistant apparently told Blankmeyer’s roommate, Laura, to provide advance notice of guests visiting the room and to “video chat in the common area,” according to the complaint.

Blankmeyer was given additional housing options, which did not meet her satisfaction. She and her parents asked if she could have her old dorm room back minus her roommate.

When that request was denied, they asked for a single room, but were told Blankmeyer “was not entitled to a reasonable accommodation of a single room.”  In the weeks and months afterward, she fell into a “dark and suicidal depression requiring her to take a leave of absence from school.”

Blankmeyer eventually moved to a hotel, but left the “increasingly isolated environment.” She was eventually able to complete her final semester of school while home in New York.

The lawsuit against the school alleges Stonehill refused to grant Blankmeyer “reasonable accommodation of a single room.”

It alleges that the school violated the Rehabilitation Act, the federal Fair Housing Act Amendments and Massachusetts anti-discrimination laws.

Stonehill said it is taking the accusations seriously.

“We are reviewing the complaint, which focuses on a previous roommate issue. There are two sides, and sometimes more, to every story. We will be responding to the complaint,” said Martin McGovern, director of Communications and Media Relations at Stonehill College, in a statement.

    Blankenmeyer should of just jumped into the sex sessions and get that good ole endorphine release :)

    It would make me sick, too. Not everyone wants to live like a whore, or live with one for that matter. Sounds like roommate had the emotional/mental/personal problems, not the woman filing the complaint.

  • Vod Kanockers

    All I can say is, here is another crybaby liberal that didn’t get her way…..waaaaaaa

    I hope she chokes on it…….Jeeeeeeezzzzzz

  • Jack

    A fornicator should be expelled from the college.

  • CoedSmusher

    Pictures, we need pictures.. also if I could get a facebook link to the roommate I would greatly appreciated.

  • Thomas Pain

    All she had to do was threaten to record these incidents and then send them to her parents, grandparents, professors, etal. That would have worked!

  • Ben

    It sounds like the college did everything within reason to accommodate her. The sad part is that this girl lacked the people skills to resolve the issue on her own accord. That is the direction our culture of victimhood has taken us.

  • Jake

    Anyone seen PCU? There is a scene where Jermey Piven is hooking up with his girlfriened and jumps across the bed all crazy and attacks David Spade. I wonder if this is how it went down here?

    Drama lama

    Just go to any bathroom up there…It should be written on a wall somewhere

  • GivemeIUDorgivemedeath

    I wonder If Obama will call here and see if she is OK.

  • Dee

    please READ the Complaint filed before posting any of the stupid comments. This is a vaild court action filed by someone who should have been helped.

  • DrMaxH

    What a bunch of scumbags leaving message on here.

    If she did not have a good case, a lawyer would not have taken it. don’t belive me, try taking a frivolous take to a trial lawyer and see how fast they send you packing.

    The school –all schools—should have rules prohibitng sex in shared dorm rooms, with expulsion being the consequence of breaking said rules.

    They are plenty of other places to have sex and decent people (that excludes most of you commenters) should not be forced to have to deal with dispicable, disgusting roommates like the student described in this case.

    This may be a “free country” where freedomn is defined as the right to degrade yourself sexually and by all other means, but those with values and morals also have rights to live accordingly.

    It’s about time that school administrators put a stop to all of the animal, screw-in-the-street, sex-parties and drugs and booze. They are suppsoed to be the adults. They should be held accountable for allowing the dormitories to turn into brothels and human garbage dumps for the slimeballs who approve of the roommate’s conduct — the subhuman who do not deserve the life God gave them.

    If I was the girl and the, “Skeezer,” roommate was having hookups with everyone including the school mascot, and the neighbors dog, she just should have gotten a bucket of cold water and poured it on them to cool their desires.

  • bob wehadababyitsaboy

    that isn’t her. that chick goes to school at NYU. stop abusing your troll capabilities.

  • Ron J

    Lindsay needs a “mushroom tattoo” on her forehead.

    • Melvin

      Same could be said for Laura the roommate. Except maybe Laura should have on her forehead, “Open for business.” But then again I guess some guys like sloppy 2nd’s, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths……..

  • bob wehadababyitsaboy

    i agree. i bet she is fat and looks ugly as sin. fat chicks hate seeing women have a good time. looks have a lot to do with these types of situations. very good comment mike.

  • Rolando

    Is the college running a whore house or an educational institution.

    Fire the RA and his/her boss and the college president. They are supposed to be running a residence and college of educational value.

    You can have cheap sex in the back of a car any time you want. Intelligent students are actually paying to learn how to think and accomplish really important things.

  • mike

    Catholic college allowing ‘visitation rights’ is in the wrong out of the gate. If the roommate wants to sleep with her boyfriend, it shouldn’t be in her dorm.

  • gk60

    Suck it up, and dont be a idiot

  • Think About It

    When do taxpayers have to start paying for her whorish roommates contraception?

  • gk60

    This happened all the time, we dealt with it, we didn’t go down the all american path of suing, suck it up and deal with it….

  • I. Ronick

    “This idiodic [sic] lawsuit”

    You have to love an idiot referring to his intellectual betters as “idiodic [sic]“…

  • Marbran

    Is her roommate Sandra Fluke? That would explain all the contraceptives ($3,000 a year) that Fluke claims she needs for free from somebody…just not from her purse.

    I am so sick of the endless victim mentality. Quit your whining, Lindsay.

  • Ron Ocala

    I was hoping for more information on the roommate. Like full name, favorite positions, cell number……

    • Ed Simple

      BWAAHHAHAHAHAHAHa ….exactly.
