Pretty much correct on your commentary. I suspect if you dug into all Virginia acts of sexual assault on school property over the past 20 years....there’s probably over 20,000 ‘records’. Schools don’t want to handle the affairs, and I readily agree...dump it over to the local sheriff...bring the kid out of the school in handcuffs...holding them for a court-date, and handle this via an adult court situation. If the 16-year old kid needs six years of prison to mature-up...fine.
But I think all of this leads back to a fear that massive court episodes will occur, and a thousand young guys each year in the state of Virginia will go off for year or two of state prison time.
The curious thing about this is that the schools are officially permitted (by VA law) to cover up crimes and fail to criminally refer the perpetrators - with the full approval of the press, the courts and the public. Kinda sounds like what they (often falsely) accused the Catholic Church of doing, to great public horror and media hysteria.
Why is it better to be raped or assaulted in a public school? Why is it okay with parents that children in school are less safe than when walking down the street on their way to school? If somebody, even another student, grabbed them on the street and raped them, it would be a crime and the perpetrator would be in jail as soon as the police could get them. But once the kids step into the school building, rape or assault is perfectly okay and just one of those things that kids do.
