Heading: Kile's claims

Text: In 1999, Jennifer Kile enrolled in a three-year program at the Seminary to pursue a Masters in Divinity degree. During her years at the Seminary, Kile also worked at the Seminary's library and participated in social activities, including FNF gatherings, which she attended [a] couple of times a month. Kile first encountered Miller in the fall of 1999, when he approached her in the library and requested phone numbers for two young women on campus [whom] he wanted to take ... out for dinner. Kile refused the request, finding it odd that Miller purported to know the women but did not have their phone numbers. Miller then departed. In the days following their initial encounter, Miller, on two separate occasions, approached Kile while she was working in the library. During both instances, Miller's purpose was to show her articles regarding various ministries. Kile responded by chatt[ing] with him very politely as an employee to a patron for a few minutes. In January 2000, after Kile returned from Denver where she had spent her Christmas break, Kile received a package in the mail from Miller. Inside, Kile found a greeting card, which had Miller's picture on it. The package also contained a newsletter, on which Miller had written Dear Jennifer, that provided information about Miller's company, a copy of a letter from the Seminary thanking Miller for his contributions to the Seminary, a devotional book, and a scripture card. Kile discussed the package with her boyfriend  Kile's husband by the time of trial. Kile also informally discussed Miller's behavior with O'Grady after Kile found herself alone with O'Grady at a table in the Campus Center cafeteria. After that discussion, O'Grady did not take action against Miller, and Kile did not pursue the matter further at that time. In September 2000, Kile took advantage of an opportunity to study abroad at the University of Shetfield in Shetfield, England. She returned to the Seminary for a week in the spring of 2001. During that week, Kile was in the Campus Center cafeteria when she heard someone call out her name. Kile turned to see Miller seated at a nearby table with a gentleman whom Miller introduced as an important contributor to the Seminary. Miller then said to Kile, I know that you are in England. Why don't you give me your street address? We can get together. Kile was freaked out by Miller's request as well as by his knowledge of her whereabouts. Kile declined to provide her street address, and, in an attempt to get out of [the situation] politely, she said that her address in England would be changing. Miller then requested Kile's e-mail address. In an effort to quickly and politely depart, Kile provided Miller with her Yahoo! e-mail address. She did not divulge the e-mail address issued to her by the Seminary. Kile then invented an excuse to leave the cafeteria, stating that she had to attend chapel service. Kile proceeded to the Seminary's chapel where she was to assist her then-fiancé, who was the main speaker liturgist at that morning's service. When the service concluded, Kile departed the chapel. As Kile made her way past the Seminary's administration building, Miller approached her. He told her that he had attended the chapel service because she had told him that she would be there. Finding Miller's admitted behavior bizarre, Kile quickly fled. At the end of her week at the Seminary, Kile returned to England. A couple of weeks later, Miller sent Kile an e-mail to inform her that he would be coming to England and that he wanted to invite her to meet him in London, which is approximately five hours from Shetfield by train, to attend a lecture and go out to dinner. Kile did not respond to Miller's e-mail, and the two had no further interaction while Kile was abroad. In May 2001, Kile returned to the Seminary, having completed her course of study at the University of Shetfield. Like Godfrey, Kile spent that summer residing in the CRW apartments. Because of the Seminary's small campus community, Kile became aware that Godfrey was to meet with O'Grady to discuss Miller's behavior. [4] Kile e-mailed O'Grady on September 4, 2001, which was shortly after Godfrey actually had met with him, and requested that he take action to stem Miller's advances. Kile attached a document detailing her past interactions with Miller.
