A man who matches the description of Lena Dunham's alleged rapist has set up a legal fund to defend his reputation and prepare for a law suit against the Girls creator, a report claims. Ms Dunham, 28, dedicates a chapter of her book, Not That Kind Of Girl, to a 'flamboyant Republican conservative' that she met at Oberlin College in Ohio identified as 'Barry', who she claims raped her after a party. Subsequent reports found a man named Barry One fits the description. After numerous failed attempts to get Ms Dunham to remove the passage or openly clear his name, One's attorney Aaron Minc reveals a fund has been set up to gather costs to defend his reputation.
