The two women suing Kansas State University after claiming the school ignored their allegations of being sexually assaulted are breaking their silence.

Sara Weckhorst and Tessa Farmer told ABC News in an exclusive interview that they went public with their names because they feel they've done nothing wrong.

On April 16, 2014, Weckhorst, who was a freshman at the time, had accepted an invitation to a fraternity event at Pillsbury Crossing, a frequent K-State party location not far from campus, according to the court filing. "I felt worthless and I didn't know how to do relieve that pain, there was no closure for it," Farmer said of the assault.

"I went to the offices and they gave me a lot of back and forth, and I answered a lot of questions and they told me they couldn't investigate cause it was off campus," Farmer said.
